Title: Katie Price most risky web celeb
Post by: Clive on August 25, 2009, 15:09: Katie Price has been named as the most dangerous celebrity to search for on the web, according to security researchers.

Searching the web for news about Katie Price, formerly known as Jordan, could be a dangerous activity.

Researchers at security firm McAfee have named the ex-page three model as the most risky person to search for online as cybercriminals often exploit interest in Price to seed malware.

Anyone searching for the latest gossip about Price's romance with cage fighter Alex Reid of the fallout from her ex-husband Peter Andre has a one-in-six chance of picking up an infection, McAfee said.

Greg Day, principal security analyst at McAfee said: "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," Day continued.

Other dangerous celebs include Jude Law, Victoria and David Beckham, Kate Moss, Kerry Katona and Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe.

Among the American celebs who should be searched for with caution are Jessica Biel, Beyonce and Tom Brady.

Many other celebrities have been used as bait for recent online scams, including Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears.

incidentally the safeway's over her do that. If you have a club card and there is a buy 2 for whatever off and you get the one you get it at the reduced price... not bad (shame the food is some expensive here in the first place)
