Dutch EDM DJ Armin Van Buuren has been named the most dangerous celebrity to search online in a new survey.
Researchers at Internet company Intel Security found online searches for Van Buuren, 38, and stars and musicians like Lorde and Nina Dobrev come with crippling malware and viruses, reported the New York Daily News.
"Cybercriminals are always looking for ways to take advantage of consumer interest around popular culture events including award shows, TV show and movie premieres, album releases, celebrity breakups," the company's press release reads.
"They capitalize on this interest by enticing unsuspecting consumers to sites laden with malware, which enables them to steal passwords and personal information."
Country singer Luke Bryan comes in at number two, while Usher, Britney Spears and Jay Z close out the top five, respectively.
Katy Perry, Amy Schumer and Betty White are also included on the list, which comedian Jimmy Kimmel topped last year.
