We all know that surfing the web can sometimes be a time waster, but did you know it can also be dangerous? At least if you're looking up info on celebrities.
For the sixth year in a row, McAfee has compiled a list of the most dangerous celebrities to search online. These are the celebrity searches that are likely to take you to a site full of viruses, malware, and sites laden with malicious software designed to steal passwords and personal information.
Taylor Swift made the list at a respectable (in this list, it's better to be towards the bottom) #15. The #1 most dangerous search was for Harry Potter's Emma Watson.
Here's the top 10:
- Emma Watson
- Jessica Biel
- Eva Mendes
- Selena Gomez
- Halle Berry
- Megan Fox
- Shakira
- Cameron Diaz
- Salma Hayek
- Sofia Vergara
Surprisingly, it's not just women who are dangerous searches. The only man to make the list was Jimmy Kimmel who came in at #13.
I guess the best rule of thumb when searching the web is to be careful what sites you visit and always make sure your malware and virus protection are up-to-date.
