But what does it all mean?

Kim Kardashian has just been named the most dangerous celebrity to search for online in 2018, but it’s not entirely as it sounds.

The cybersecurity firm behind the list, McAfee, isn’t suggesting that Kim herself is dangerous, it is instead suggesting that her name is associated with the most malicious websites.

The annual list measures how many search results featuring a celebrity’s name contain links to dangerous websites.

And booting off Craig David who came first last year, is Kim Kardashian.

And she’s not alone, joined by everyone from Love Island host Caroline Flack and megastar Adele to actress Rose Byrne and singer Britney Spears.

‘There’s endless opportunities to pick and choose which entertainment options we prefer to enjoy from a variety of connected devices,’ explained McAfee’s chief scientist Raj Samani.

‘With Kim Kardashian’s influence and business ventures, people will go to extreme lengths to be a little more like Kim.’
