Former India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is one of the most popular personalities in the history of Indian cricket.
While other former and current Team India cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, etc have a wide fan base, but Dhoni's popularity is perhaps on a different level.
Not only in India, but MS Dhoni caters a huge fan base all across the globe. However, Dhoni's admirers across the nation now have voted him to take up the top of an unwanted list.
According to McAfee's recent Most Dangerous Celebrity list of 2019, the wicketkeeper-batsman has come out on top. Other celebrities featuring on the list include sportsmen like Christiano Ronaldo, Sachin Tendulkar and actors Sunny Leone and Radhika Apte.
This is McAfee’s thirteenth edition of the list where researchers identified popular and influential personalities which exposes their fans to the riskiest search results to random websites and viruses.
MSD's mammoth fan base has generated a big pool for cybercriminals to malicious websites and McAfee's study shows exactly that.
“The significant ease of internet access, through a host of connected devices has made it increasingly viable for users to avail content from all over the world. As subscription-based content platforms continue to grow in India, netizens often look for free and pirated content such as major sports events, movies, TV shows, and images of their favourite superstars. Unfortunately, they may not be fully aware of the risks that malicious websites providing such content can pose in exchange for this access,” Venkat Krishnapur, Vice-President of Engineering and Managing Director, McAfee India, was quoted saying by Live Mint.
