Ruby crowned most deadly celeb

Cybersecur­ity firm McAfee found the most likely celebritie­s who might land users on websites that carry viruses

- Dead

Ruby Rose has played some dangerous characters, like an inmate in Orange Is the New Black and a scientist battling a prehistori­c shark in The Meg. But the actress herself is now officially dangerous.

Cybersecur­ity firm McAfee yesterday crowned Rose the most dangerous celebrity on the internet. No other celebrity was more likely to land users on websites that carry viruses or malware.

Reality TV star, Kristin Cavallari finished behind Rose at No 2, followed by actress Marion Cotillard (No 3), the original Wonder Woman Lynda Carter (No 4), actress Rose Byrne (No 5), Debra Messing (No 6), reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian (No 7), actress Amber Heard (No. 8), morning TV show host Kelly Ripa (No 9), and actor Brad William Henke as No 10.

Rose is a model and MTV VJ who may have gotten a burst of online interest when she was named to play Batwoman on an upcoming CW series.

The survey is meant to highlight the danger of clicking on suspicious links. McAfee urges internet users to consider risks associated with searching for downloadab­le content and always apply updated security fixes.
