‘Dangerous Celeb’ Jessica Biel Might Raise Awareness, Security VARs Say – IT Channel News by CRN — Security awareness. Yeah, that’s why we are running the story.

For the third year in a row, McAfee conducted a study to determine the most popular celebrities that attackers are exploiting on the Web in an effort to lure victims to malicious sites and download malware onto their systems. The study is conducted on the premise that some of the most popular celebrity searches — such as searches containing the names Jessica Biel and Brad Pitt — also pose the highest risk for the average user.




  1. bobbo, more vaccine propaganda says:

    Pretty girls always have a higher risk of viruses, but I don’t care what the CDC says, I’m going in.

    #1 – bobbo

    Enable your antivirus system…

  3. travis_ says:

    I heard you guys mention this on NA (best podcast ever). I think the high rate of viruses tied to her is because of her recent role in a movie putting her as a stripper.
    Guys search her name to see her tits/porn sites etc..

    I think a plastic coated burka could do the job, but a hijab would leave my head exposed.

    Go for the burka lite version.

  6. bobbo, I could spend all day doing this says:

    Thanks Jag===perfect. Works for swine flu too! Maybe McCullough was right. We all need bubbles.

  7. Jägermeister says:

    #6 – bobbo – We all need bubbles.

    Not a good idea… Michael Jackson had Bubbles, and now he’s dead…

  8. SparkyOne says:

    Bubbles dead? Say it ain’t so.

    “‘Dangerous Celeb’ Jessica Biel Might Raise Awareness of Web Security Issues”

    Well, she certainly raises something, as it were.

  10. Weary Reaper says:

    I find it amusing these stories somehow manage to avoid any mention the words ‘Microsoft’ or ‘Windows’.

    Remember now, people living in houses without walls should always restrict themselves to looking at the world, only through their windows.

    The only danger of looking at jessica biel sites is right wrist strain
