With many Aussies staying home to stay well, the internet and all its offerings have provided the perfect way for us all to pass time. From free movies and TV shows to the latest celebrity news, many of us have devoured digital content to entertain ourselves. But our love affair with online entertainment certainly hasn\u2019t gone unnoticed by cybercriminals who have \u2018pivoted\u2019 in response and cleverly adapted their scams to adjust to our insatiable desire for content.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Searching For Our Favourite Celebrities Can Be A Risky Business<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Cybercriminals are fully aware that we love searching for online entertainment and celebrity news and so devise their plans accordingly. Many create fake websites that promise users free content from a celebrity of the moment to lure unsuspecting Aussies in. But these malicious websites are purpose-built to trick consumers into sharing their personal information in exchange for the promised free content \u2013 and this is where many come unstuck!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Who Are The Most Dangerous Celebrities of 2020?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>McAfee, the world\u2019s leading cybersecurity company, has researched which famous names generate the riskiest search results that could potentially trigger consumers to unknowingly install malware on their devices or unwillingly share their private information with cybercriminals.<\/p>\n<p>And in 2020, English singer-songwriter Adele takes out the top honours as her name generates the most harmful links online. Adele is best known for smashing the music charts since 2008 with hit songs including <em>\u2018Rolling in the Deep\u2019<\/em> and \u2018<em>Someone Like You<\/em>\u2019. In addition to her award-winning music, Adele is also loved for her funny and relatable personality, as seen on her talk show appearances (such as her viral \u2018<em>Carpool Karaoke\u2019<\/em> segment) and concert footage. Most recently, her weight-loss and fitness journey have received mass media attention, with many trying to get to the bottom of her \u2018weight-loss\u2019 secrets.<\/p>\n<p>Trailing Adele as the second most dangerous celebrity is\u00a0actress and star of the 2020 hit show Stan <em>\u2018Love Life<\/em>\u2019\u00a0Anna Kendrick, followed by\u00a0rapper Drake (no.\u00a03), model and actress Cara\u00a0Delevingne\u00a0(no. 4), US\u00a0TikTok\u00a0star Charli\u00a0D\u2019Amelio\u00a0(no.\u00a05) and singer-songwriter Alicia Keys (no. 6). Rounding out the top ten are \u2018<em>Sk8r\u00a0Boi\u2019<\/em>\u00a0singer Avril\u00a0Lavigne\u00a0(No.\u00a07), New Zealand rising music star, Benee (no. 8), songstress Camila Cabello (no. 9),\u00a0and global superstar, singer and actress\u00a0Beyonce\u00a0(no. 10).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Aussies Love Celebrity Gossip<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Whether it was boredom or the fact that we just love a stickybeak, our love of celebrity news reached new heights this year with our many of us \u2018needing\u2019 to stay up to date with the latest gossip from our favourite public figures. Adele\u2019s weight-loss journey (no.1),\u00a0Drake\u2019s first photos of \u2018secret son\u2019 Adonis (no. 4), and Cara Delevingne\u2019s breakup with US actress Ashley Benson (no. 5), all had us Aussie fans flocking to the internet to search for the latest developments on these celebrity stories.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>We\u2019ve Loved New Releases in 2020<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With many of us burning through catalogues of available movies and TV shows amid advice to stay at home, new release titles have definitely been the hottest ticket in town to stay entertained.<\/p>\n<p>Rising to\u00a0fame following her roles in\u00a0\u2018<em>Twilight\u2019<\/em>\u00a0and musical comedy\u00a0\u2018<em>Pitch Perfect\u2019<\/em>, Anna Kendrick (no. 2) starred in\u00a0HBO Max series\u00a0\u2018<em>Love Life\u2019<\/em>\u00a0which was released during the peak of COVID-19 in Australia, as well as the 2020 children\u2019s film\u00a0\u2018<em>Trolls World Tour\u2019<\/em>.\u00a0R&amp;B and pop megastar\u00a0Beyonce\u00a0(no. 10) starred\u00a0in the 2019 remake of Disney cult classic\u00a0\u2018<em>The Lion King\u2019<\/em> and released a\u00a0visual album\u00a0\u2018<em>Black Is\u00a0King\u2019<\/em>\u00a0in 2020.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Music Has Soothed Our Souls This Year\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While live concerts and festivals came to a halt earlier this year, many of us are still seeking music \u2013 both old and new \u2013 to help us navigate these unprecedented times. In fact, musicians make up 50% of the top 10 most dangerous celebrities \u2013 hailing from all genres, backgrounds and generations.<\/p>\n<p>Canadian rapper Drake (No. 2) sparked fan interest by dropping his\u00a0\u2018<em>Dark Lanes Demo Tapes\u2019<\/em>\u00a0album including hit songs\u00a0\u2018<em>Chicago Freestyle\u2019<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0\u2018<em>Tootsie\u00a0Slide\u2019<\/em>\u00a0that went massively viral on\u00a0TikTok. New Zealand singer Benee also came out of the woodwork with viral sensations Supalonely and Glitter topping charts and reaching global popularity on\u00a0TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>Known for her enormously successful R&amp;B\/Soul music in the early 2000s, Alicia Keys (no. 6) released a string of new singles in 2020. Camila Cabello\u2019s \u2018<em>Senorita<\/em>\u2019 duet with Canadian singer and now boyfriend Shawn Mendes, was Spotify\u2019s most streamed song of 2019. The couple continued to attract copious attention as fans followed stories reporting on the lovebirds self-isolating together in Miami earlier this year.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How to Avoid Getting Caught In An Online Celebrity Scam<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Please don\u2019t feel that getting caught by an ill-intentioned cybercrime is inevitable. If you follow these few simple tips, you can absolutely continue your love of online entertainment and all things celebrity:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Be Careful What You Click<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you are looking for new release music, movies or TV shows or even an update on your favourite celebrity then ALWAYS be cautious and only click on links to reliable sources. Avoid \u2018dodgy\u2019 looking websites that promise free content \u2013 I guarantee these sites will gift you a big dose of malware. The safest thing is to wait for official releases, use only legitimate streaming sites and visit reputable news sites.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong>Say NO to Illegal Streaming and Downloading Suspicious Files<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Yes, illegal downloads are free but they are usually riddled with malware or adware disguised as mp3 files. Be safe and use only legitimate music streaming platforms \u2013 even if it costs a few bucks! Imagine how devastating it would be to lose access to everything on your computer thanks to a nasty piece of malware?<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong>Protect Your Online Safety With A CyberSecurity Solution<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One of the best ways of safeguarding yourself (and your family) from cybercriminals is by investing in an\u00a0 comprehensive cybersecurity solution like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mcafee.com\/en-au\/antivirus\/mcafee-total-protection.html\">McAfee\u2019s Total Protection<\/a>. This Rolls Royce cybersecurity package will protect you from malware, spyware, ransomware and phishing attacks. An absolute no brainer!<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Get Parental Controls Working For You<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Kids love celebrities too! Parental control software allows you to introduce limits to your kids\u2019 viewing which will help minimise their exposure to potentially malicious or inappropriate websites when they are searching for the latest new on TikTok star Charlie D\u2019Amelio or go to download the latest Benee track.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know how my family of 6 would have survived this year without online entertainment. We\u2019ve devoured the content from three different streaming services, listened to a record number of hours on Spotify and filled our heads with news courtesy of online news sites. And while things are looking up, it will be a while before life returns to normal. So, please take a little time to educate your family on the importance of \u2018thinking before you click\u2019 and the perils of illegal downloading. Let\u2019s not make 2020 any more complicated!!<\/p>\n<p>Stay safe everyone!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Alex x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Searching For Your Favourite Celebrity May Not End Well 2020 has certainly been the year for online entertainment.
