Ruby Rose the ‘most dangerous celebrity online’ in new McAfee internet security survey
Survey meant to highlight the danger of clicking on suspicious links
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.
Cybersecurity firm McAfee on Tuesday crowned Rose the most dangerous celebrity on the internet. No other celebrity was more likely to land users on websites that carry viruses or malware.
Reality TV star, Kristin Cavallari finished behind Rose at No 2, followed by actress Marion Cotillard (No 3), the original Wonder Woman Lynda Carter (No 4), actress Rose Byrne (No 5), Debra Messing (No 6), reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian (No 7), actress Amber Heard (No 8), morning TV show host Kelly Ripa (No 9), and actor Brad William Henke as No 10.
Rose is a model and MTV VJ who may have got a burst of online interest when she was named to play Batwoman on an upcoming CW series.
The survey is meant to highlight the danger of clicking on suspicious links. McAfee urges internet users to consider risks associated with searching for downloadable content and always apply updated security fixes.
