Cameron Diaz replaced Jessica Biel as the most dangerous celebrity that people ever search over the internet. It was based on the report of an internet security company McAfee, Inc.
For the fourth year in a row, McAfee already compiled its research to find out the name of celebrities, musicians, politicians, comedian and Hollywood stars with the highest searched over the internet. Within the study report titled 'The McAfee Most Dangerous Celebrities' revealed that movie stars and models are the 'most dangerous' search topics, while politicians like Barack Obama and Sarah Palin are the 'most safe.'
Cybercriminals often use the name of popular celebrities to deceive internet users to visit the website that actually contained malicious software. Anyone that looking for the latest photos or video of famous celebrities will eventually end up with a malware-ridden computer instead of just trendy content.
The research found that 10% of online searching using the name of 'Cameron Diaz' will leads the internet users into the website that contained spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and others malware.
The second most dangerous artist was Julia Roberts, while Jessica Biel ranked at the third place. Following are Gisele Bundchen, Brad Pitt, Adriana Lima, Jennifer Love Hewit and Nicole Kidman.
US President Barack Obama and former Alaska governor Sarah Palin ranked at the bottom of the list, making them the less threatening topics for internet searches.
