Sep.17.2008 Brad Pitt is the king of invading your computer
Searching for Brad Pitt? Turns out that your lust for those eyes and abs might leave you more vulnerable to hackers.
Movie star Brad Pitt has shoved Paris Hilton off the top of a list neither will have coveted being on. A fan entering Pitt’s name in a search engine now has a startling one in five chance of finding a malware-hosting site instead, says McAfee.
Pitt is top of the fake Web site malware league, just ahead of a collection of pop and film stars that reads (in descending order) Beyonce, Justin Timberlake, Heidi Montag, Mariah Carey, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Cameron Diaz, George Clooney, and Angelina Jolie.
Hilton no longer even makes the fake Web top ten, but can perhaps take some solace from her continued popularity with spammers.
“Cybercriminals employ numerous methods, yet one of the simplest but most effective way is to trick consumers into infecting themselves by capitalizing on Americans’ interest in celebrity gossip,” commented McAfee’s Jeff Green. “Tapping into current events, pop culture or commonly browsed sites is an easy way to achieve this.”
Poor Brad Pitt. It’s unfair for a man who’s done so much good to be harmful to my cyber-well-being. He does such charitable things like making tons of money off of movies and having sex with Angelina Jolie. Who else would undertake such endeavors??
Also if you have sex with a man pretending to be Brad Pitt, you’re even more likely to get a virus. Including but not limited to HIV, gonorrhea, syphilis, crabs, and gingivitis. The more you know.
