Every year McAfee comes up with a list of most dangerous cyber celebrities to search for online. This year, the title of most dangerous cyber celebrity goes to Jimmy Kimmel, comedian and host of Jimmy Kimmel Live, late night talk show.
Jimmy becomes the second male artist to earn the title of most dangerous web celebrity, after Brad Pitt who’s won the title in 2008.
The reason why he’s termed to be the most dangerous of all celebrities is that when you search for videos and downloads of Jimmy Kimmel, you’ve got a 1 in 5 chance to click on a page that tests positive for viruses and other malware.
Actually, out of all the things we search for online, celebrities are our favorites and cyber-criminals take advantage of the same.
