Avril Lavigne Named 2017's Most Dangerous Celebrity

(Radio.com) Avril Lavinge has been named 2017's most dangerous celebrity. Cybersecurity firm McAfee gave the Canadian singer the dubious distinction on their 11th annual list of the "riskiest celebrity to search for online."

"Consumers often prioritize their convenience over security by engaging in risky behavior like clicking on suspicious links that promise the latest content from celebrities." Read more here.
