Surfing for latest info on Ruby Rose? Be very careful!

-

Model-actor Ruby Rose, known for her role in the web series Orange Is the New Black, was named the Most Dangerous Celebrity to search for online on Tuesday because of results that could expose fans to malicious websites carrying viruses.

Cyber-security company McAfee said that reality television star Kristin Cavallari came in second place, while actors Marion Cotillard, Lynda Carter, and Rose Byrne were also among the top five celebritie­s whose name searches can lead fans to click on suspicious links.

Rose, 32, who was recently announced to play the role of Batwoman in an upcoming TV series, is the 12th celebrity to be given the title, said McAfee spokesman Gary Davis.

“So, whether you’re looking up what Ruby did on the latest Orange Is the New Black episode, or what Kristin Cavallari wore [at] the latest awards show, make sure you’re searching the Internet safely,” Davis said in a statement.

Last year’s Most Dangerous Celebrity, singer Avril Lavigne, came in at No. 30 this year, McAfee said. Singer Adele was the highest ranked musician at No. 21, followed by singer Shakira at No. 27.

To keep Internet activity secure, Davis said that users should avoid visiting thirdparty websites that could contain malware; apply operating system and applicatio­n updates that may include security fixes; and invest in security protection tools.
