“As soon as you go off the big boulevards, you go off map and you have the potential to land in a dark alley.”
— Shane Keats, a research analyst at McAfee . The cyber-security company named actress Jessica Biel as the “most dangerous celebrity in cyberspace.” Twenty percent of Internet searches for terms related to “Jessica Biel” lead to a Web page, photo, video or piece of spam that contains a cyber-security threat, according to McAfee’s just-released report.
“Stick to the really well-lighted parts of the Internet,” Keats warns, advising that we resist Googling Justin Timberlake’s girlfriend (Biel) and beware Brad Pitt. The Inglorious Basterds star is less threatening, however, than a year ago when he was No. 1 on the McAfee most-dangerous list. Pitt has dropped to No. 10.
