Katrina Kaif is the 'most dangerous celebrity in cyberspace'

Actress Katrina Kaif has earned the title of the 'most dangerous Indian celebrity'.

According to a report by the internet security company McAfee, cyber criminals are using Kaif's name more than any other celebrity to expose computers to malicious software.

"In a celebrity-crazy country like India, cyber criminals find it very lucrative to use the names of popular figures as keywords to lure people to websites with malicious software," a spokesman told NDTV.

"This year's study found movie stars top the most dangerous list, while sports stars and politicians are among the safest."

There is 10.26 percent chance that the actress's name could lead the users to a risky website, the report says.

The list of 'dangerous' celebrities includes actors Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan.

Kaif recently beat Britney Spears as the most searched celebrity on Vuclip.

The Sheila ki Jawaani star was named 'Newsmaker of the Year' in 2010 after topping Yahoo! India's most-searched list.
