Katie

split

Peter
Andre,
has
been
named
Britain's
"Most
Dangerous
Celebrity
In
Cyberspace'
by
Internet
researchers.Computer
protection
company
McAfee
looked
at
popular
search
engines
such
as
Google
and
Yahoo!
in
assessing
the
risk
by
clicking
on
celebrity-related
website
links.
The
company
has
said
that
cybercriminals
are
using
A-listers'
names
and
images
to
lure
Internet
users
who
surf
the
Web
for
the
latest
gossip,
screen
savers
and
ringtones
to
"fake" Web
sites
that
look
legitimate.Such
sites
could
be
loaded
with
spyware
collecting
information
about
users
without
their
knowledge,
and
viruses
that
can
infiltrate
computers,
with
the
goal
of
making
money
and
committing
ID
theft.
McAfee
found
that
fans
searching
the
web
for
the
latest
gossip
on
Katie,
aka
Jordan,
and
her
newfound
relationship
with
cage
fighter
Alex
Reid
have
a
one
in
six
chance
of
clicking
on
a
"risky"
website.
Jude
Law
had
the
second
highest
percentage
of
related
websites
targeted
by
cybercrooks.
Victoria
Beckham's
new
role
on
American
Idol
made
her
the
third
most
risky
celebrities
online
in
the
UK.
Kate
Moss
came
fourth
in
the
list,
while
David
Beckham's
fall
out
with
LA
Galaxy
fans
ensured
that
he
secured
the
fifth
position.
"Cybercrooks
capitalising
on
the
public
obsession
with
celebrities
and
current
events
is
nothing
new..."
the
Telegraph
quoted
Greg
Day,
McAfee's
principal
security
analyst,
as
saying.
He
added:
"A
quick
flick
across
the
front
pages
of
the
latest
popular
newspapers
and
magazines
offers
a
fairly
reliable
snapshot
of
where
the
criminals
will
focus
their
efforts
next."

top
10
'risky' British
celebrities
and
