Female comedian superstar Amy Schumer knocked electronic dance music DJ, Armin van Buuren, off the list to become the most dangerous celebrity to search for online, according to Intel Security.

Comedian and actress Amy Schumer ranked No. 1 in the McAfee Most Dangerous Celebrities 2016 study, reported Intel last week.

Now in its 10th year, the study reveals which celebrities, musicians and TV hosts generate the most dangerous Internet search results, potentially exposing consumers to malware.

Celebrities in the top 10 include Justin Bieber, Carson Daly, Will Smith, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and more.

Now in its 10th year, the McAfee Most Dangerous Celebrities study, published by Intel Security, researched a broad list of well-known figures including actors, comedians, musicians, TV hosts, athletes and more. This research uncovers which celebrities generate the most dangerous search results that could expose fans to viruses and malware while searching for the latest information on today’s pop culture icons.

Amy Schumer is considered one of the most popular female comedians, and is also known for her work as a writer, actress and producer. Justin Bieber came in hot on her heels at No. 2, followed by “Today” and “The Voice” host Carson Daly (No. 3).

Schumer is also accompanied by comedian peers in the top 10 with Chris Hardwick (No. 7) and Daniel Tosh (No. 8). Former rapper turned Hollywood A-lister Will Smith is joined by chart-topping musicians such as Rihanna (No. 5), Miley Cyrus (No. 6), Selena Gomez (No. 9) and Kesha (No. 10), rounding out the top 10 list.

Savvy cybercriminals continue to leverage consumers’ ongoing fascination with celebrity news – such as award and TV shows as well as movie premieres, album releases, celebrity breakups and more – to entice unsuspecting fans to visit sites loaded with malware that can steal passwords and personal information. The study conducted by Intel Security highlights the various ways hackers can take advantage of consumers’ interest around pop culture news, the risks of their online behavior and how to best protect themselves from potential threats.

“Consumers today remain fascinated with celebrity culture and go online to find the latest pop culture news,” said Gary Davis, chief consumer security evangelist at Intel Security. “With this craving for real-time information, many search and click without considering potential security risks. Cybercriminals know this and take advantage of this behavior by attempting to lead them to unsafe sites loaded with malware. As a result, consumers need to understand what precautions to take to enable safe online experiences.”
