Kenyan Actress Lupita Nyong’o has been listed as one of the most dangerous celebrities to search on the internet.

The Award-winning Kenyan actress has been named among the most dangerous celebrities online, according to McFee’s list. Lupita came in at number five as one of the celebrities more likely to land users on websites that carry viruses or malware in 2019.

Actress Alexis Bledel who featured in Gilmore Girls and Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants was ranked first. This means that searching for Bledel was most likely to land you on a website with malware or viruses.

Talk show host Jimmy Fallon, actor Jackie Chan, rappers Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and actress Tessa Thompson wrapped up the most dangerous celebrity list in that order.

Virus

The annual survey by McAfee is meant to highlight the danger of clicking on suspicious links.

“Criminals use deceptive websites to dupe unsuspecting consumers into accessing malicious files or content. It is essential that consumers learn to protect their digital lives from lurking cybercriminals by thinking twice before they click on suspicious links or download content,” the company said in a statement.

The celebrities listed are said to have been trending and making news, therefore becoming of interest to those that would want to spread certain viruses to other people’s devices. McAfee advised internet users to take precaution with searches for pirated content and to always update their security software.
