Alexis Bledel is the most dangerous celebrity online


Actress Alexis Bledel has been bookish and sweet on Gilmore Girls and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. But the actress herself is now officially dangerous. Cybersecurity firm McAfee crowned Bledel the most dangerous celebrity on the internet in 2019. No other celebrity was more likely to land users on websites that carry viruses or malware. Gary Davis, chief consumer security evangelist at McAfee explained that Bledel likely landed on the list this year due to her respective role in the popular show The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu, a subscriber-based service. Bad actors will attach malware and malicious links to famous names, hoping fans searching for videos on the internet will fall victim. McAfee urges internet users to consider risks associated with searching for pirated content and always apply updated security fixes.
