Katie Price: The Most Dangerous Cyberspace Celebrity!

Katie Price
Internet searchers are adding more woes to Katie Price's post divorce period. She has been recently named as the 'most dangerous ceyberspace celebrity.'

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. 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.

Cybercrooks capitalising on the public obsession with celebrities and current events is nothing new. 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. 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.



Here are the top 10 'risky' British celebrities and the percentage of websites related to them, which were found to be potentially harmful:

1.Katie Price - 16.3 per cent
