Spicezee Bureau
Mumbai: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has defeated 'sexiest' Katrina Kaif in the most dangerous Indian celebrity in cyberspace search item poll. The 'Bachchan-bahu' may not have as much visibility these days as her ex Salman's girlfriend, but her popularity is intact in the virtual world of cyberspace.
For the second time, McAfee researched India's celebrities from the world of cinema, cricket and politics and came out with sensational revelations. Cricketer Yuvraj Singh has topped the poll overall and south Indian actresses have an edge over Bollywood hotties. Cricketers have given a tough competition to hunks of our filmdom.
It is revealed that fans searching for Yuvraj Singh downloads or Yuvaraj Singh wallpapers, Yuvraj Singh photos, Aishwarya Rai wallpapers, Aishwarya Rai screen savers and Aishwarya Rai videos are most likely to land at a Website that's tested positive for online threats, such as spyware, adware, spam, phishing, viruses and other malware.
MS Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh rank third and sixth in the list while Kollywood is quickly picking up pace in the world of most dangerous clicks.
''Cricket and Bollywood are two subjects about which every Indian is passionate about. It is no surprise that cybercriminals capitalize 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.
''Its very common for malware authors to take advantage of current hot topics luring consumers to malicious websites they created. Users need to be cautious and should keep their antivirus/ security software updated with the latest versions,'' Shahani said while talking to a news daily.
