Aishwarya Rai and Yuvraj Singh are dangerous on internet
Security firm names other risky celebrities
The latest annual list compiled by the Internet security firm McAfee has named cricketer Yuvraj Singh and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the top two most dangerous Indian celebrities to search online.
Yuvraj Singh tops the list with Ash on number 2. They have overtaken Katrina Kaif, who topped the poll last year as the riskiest Indian celeb on the web.
According to McAfee, fans searching for celebrity downloads, wallpapers, photos or screen savers have a one in five chance of landing at a website that’s tested positive for online threats such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware.
So searching for the latest celebrity news and downloads can sometimes seriously damage one's computer.
The other celebrities on McAfee’s top ten list include M.S. Dhoni, Namitha, Shriya Saran, Harbhajan Singh, Sania Mirza, Asin, Bipasha Basu and Shahid Kapur in that order.
"Cricket and Bollywood are two subjects which every Indian is passionate about. It is no surprise that cybercriminals capitalise on celebrities from the world of sports and cinema to lure innocent fans to encourage the download of malicious software in disguise," said Kartik Shahani, regional director, India, McAfee Inc.
