It’s the most dangerous celebrity time again. For its 12th annual survey of risky famous people online, cybersecurity firm McAfee recently crowned Ruby Rose the most dangerous celebrity on the internet. McAfee says that searching for Ruby Rose on the Intertubes was more likely to land users on websites that carry viruses or malware than any other celebrity in 2018.
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. 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. Ms.Rose unseated last year’s most dangerous celeb, Avril Lavigne.
The rest of the 10 most riskiest famous people
- Fake TV star, Kristin Cavallari,
- Actress Marion Cotillard,
- The original “Wonder Woman” Lynda Carter,
- Actress Rose Byrne,
- Actress Debra Messing.
- Fake TV wanna be Kourtney Kardashian,

- Morning TV show host Kelly Ripa,
- Actor Brad William Henke.
McAfee identified the riskiest celebrities around the world include:
Jann Arden is the most dangerous celebrity to search online, in Canada.- Kim Kardashian is the most dangerous celebrity to search for online in the UK and Belgium in 2018.
- In India, Bollywood actor Ileana D’Cruz is the riskiest.
- Lucy Liu topped Australia’s list of the Most Dangerous Celebrities.
- Diana Kruger was named the riskiest celerity in Germany.
McAfee says the survey highlights the danger of clicking on suspicious links. The cybersecurity firm urges internet users to think before they click and consider the risks associated with searching for downloadable content. They also urge users to apply updated security fixes. The company used its own site ratings to compile the celebrity list and used searches on Google, Bing, and Yahoo.
