Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu might be a heartthrob of millions of his fans, but he is also the “most dangerous celebrity” of Telugu cinema industry. Wait, Mahesh Babu is not a dangerous person, but he is a dangerous celebrity in Indian cyberspace, according to a recent study conducted by McAfee, the world’s largest dedicated security technology company. Rated as the second most desirable man in India, the superstar is the most vulnerable person for cybercriminals, says the study.
McAfee researched popular culture’s most famous people to create a ranking of Most Dangerous Celebrity based on the risk quotient of Telugu celebrities in Indian cyberspace.

This year, searching for a celebrity name coupled with the search terms ‘wall paper’, ‘videos’, ‘nude pictures’ resulted in the highest instances of malware-laden sites.
