He may look friendly with his winning Dutch grin, but DJ Armin van Buuren is dangerous.

Well, dangerous that is to look up online: Intel Security this week revealed its list of the most dangerous cyber celebrities and van Buuren was at the top of it.

In fact, if you search online for our Armin you have an 17.9% chance of landing on a web page with potential for online threats. He’s followed in the danger list by country musician Luke Bryan and R&B star Usher.

Why so many musicians, you wonder? Stacey Conner, online safety expert at Intel Security, explains: “Celebrity names combined with the terms ‘free MP4,’ ‘HD downloads,’ or ‘torrent’ are some of the most searched terms on the Web. When consumers search for music that is not made available through legitimate channels, they put both their digital lives and devices at risk.”

Well, that’s us told.
