Top 10 Most Sensational Cricketers

India – McAfee, part of Intel Security unveiled results of its ‘Most Sensational Cricketer’ study which researched this season’s top players of the cricketing world on their popularity and related risk quotient in the Indian cyberspace. Chris Gayle, regarded as the most explosive batman in modern cricket has been named the ‘Most Sensational Cricketer’ online in Indian cyberspace.This is the second time in a row, the Jamaican cricketer who has a reputation of playing long innings, has topped a similar list last year titled Most Dangerous Cricketer.

The study highlights the trend of cybercriminals using cricketers to take advantage of fans seeking more information about their idols. Cybercriminals often capitalize on the public’s fascination with cricketers to lure them to sites laden with malware that can potentially result in identity thefts, stealing of passwords and confidential personal information. This year, searching for a ‘cricketer name’ combined with the search terms like ‘wall paper’, ‘free download’, ‘hot pictures’, ‘selfie’, ‘videos’ resulted in the highest instances of malicious sites.

Commenting on the findings of the study, VenkatKrishnapur, Vice-President of Engineering- Consumer, Business Group, McAfee India Centre, McAfee, Part of Intel Security said, “Leveraging the current cricket fervor,cybercriminals tend toexploit the popularity quotient of sports celebrities and time their attacks to coincide with famous events. Cricket crazy fans are highly motivated to search for photos, videos, match scores and interesting stories of their favorite cricketers online and in that moment of weakness they are lured into clicking malicious links that could lead to transmission of malware onto their owned devices and potential compromise of data.”



The study for ‘Most Sensational Cricketer’ online used the McAfee® SiteAdvisor® site rating which shows the sites that are risky to search for cricketing celebrity names on the web when used along with keywords such as ‘wall paper’, ‘free download’, ‘hot pictures’, ‘selfie’, ‘videos’and calculates an overall risk percentage. The top 10 cricketers with the highest risk scores in the Indian cyberspace are:



Rank :Cricketer
1 ) Chris Gayle, best known for the ‘Gaylestorm’ he ushers with his hard-hitting knocks and fun personality on-field as well as off-field ranks 1st as Most Sensational Cricketer with 59 malicious sites.

2) Glenn Maxwell, the explosive Aussie batsman, has put up ‘The Big show’ winning all batting titles to his credit this season. He ranks 2ndon the list with 54 malicious sites.

3) At 3rdspot is the rising star of Indian Cricket with 51 malicious sites to his name,Virat Kohli, the new-age cricketer who plays his game aggressively and is unafraid to express his emotions on the field.

4) Debuting the list at 4th position this year, with 48 malicious sites to his credits Sunil Narine, the ‘mystery spinner’ from Caribbean who is a rage this cricket season with his mohawk hairstyle and diamond studded ear.

5) M.S Dhoni,the flamboyant yet grounded captainmade it to the headlines earlier this year with his alleged involvement in betting and spot-fixing controversies. “Captain Cool”, stands at 5th spot with 47 malicious sites to his name.

6) At 6th rank is David Miller, called ‘killer miller’ for his blitzkrieging slams, with 38infected search results.

7) At 7th position is Yuvraj Singh, whose 9 sixes during his match-winning knock this cricketing season brought him back to the winning chart. This born fighter has 35 infected sites in cyber space.

8) A marauding hitter of the cricket ball, Kieron Pollard, was embroiled in an unpleasant on-field incident with Mitchell Starc, ranks at 8th position with 33 malicious sites

9) With 29 infected sites is Suresh Raina, part of India’s new age firebrand cricketers, who ranks9thin the list.

10) At 10th position is the daring, tough and fiercely talented, Mitchell Starc, whose news of a brawl with Kieron Pollard has been doing the rounds. He has 24 infected sites to his name.

Indian Cricketers heat up the charts

This year four Indian cricketers make it to the top 10 ‘Most Sensational Cricketer’ online list: ViratKohli (No. 3), MS Dhoni(No. 5), Yuvraj Singh(No. 7) and Suresh Raina(No. 9)

Batsmen are more potentially at risk than Bowlers

Sunil Narine (No. 4) and Mitchell Starc (No. 10) are the only bowlers to rank in the top 10 Most Sensational Cricketers list


But first, let's take a SELFIE

Cricketers too have jumped on the selfie bandwagon. Sunil Narine,Glenn Maxwell, MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, in the stated order have the most infected sites with the search term ‘selfie’

From One Year to Another

Brett Lee, S Sreesanth, Dale Steyn, Kevin Pietersen, Rohit Sharma and Sachin Tendulkar,have all dropped out of this year’s list (in 2013 they ranked No. 2, No. 3, No. 6, No. 7, No. 8 and No. 10, respectively).

Tips to Stay Protected:
Beware of content that prompts you to download anything before providing you the content. You may want to opt to watch streaming videos or download content from official websites of content providers.

 “Free downloads” are significantly the highest virus-prone search term. Anyone searching for videos or files to download should be careful as not to unleash malware on their computer.

Always use password protection on your phone and other mobile devices. If your phone is lost or stolen, anyone who picks up the device could publish your information online.

Established news sites may not entice you with exclusives for one solid reason: there usually aren’t any. Try to stick to official news sites that you trust for breaking news. However, trusted sites can also fall prey to hackers. Make sure to use a safe search tool that will notify you of risky sites or links before you visit them.


Don’t download videos from suspect sites. This should be common sense, but it bears repeating: don’t download anything from a website you don’t trust — especially video. Most news clips you’d want to see can easily be found on official video sites, and don’t require you to download anything. If a website offers an exclusive video for you to download, don’t.


Don’t “log in” or provide other information: If you receive a message, text or email or visit a third-party website that asks for your information—credit card, email, home address, Facebook login, or other information—for access to an exclusive story, don’t give it out. Such requests are a common tactic for phishing that could lead to identity theft.


If you do decide to search for information on a major event or celebrity in the news, make sure your PCs and laptops have protection, such as McAfee Total Protection™ security software, a security suite that offers anti-virus, anti-spyware, identity and firewall protection. You can also use free tools such as McAfee® Mobile Security, available for Android and iOS devices to prevent privacy invasions, data loss, identity theft; protecting smartphone or tablet from all types of malware.

Most of the popular sites have gone through website redesign as the New Year is approaching and we can say this is one of their strategies for each year. As you can see YouTube changes its site features and designs annually to bring more audience or subscribers. So let’s take a look which of the top sites has gone through a redesign in 2012 and among them which one looks worthy.

YouTube
YouTube got a new look around two weeks back, keeping in mind to increase user subscriptions. The YouTube player is now showing a full frontal and centered view on the site containing the sharing, subscription, likes and comments underneath it. The ‘Guide’ feature is now more improved which will guide you through popular channels, popular videos, what’s your friends doing on YouTube and many more.

Mashable
Same time around this December, the social media portal Mashable.com also unveiled its new look with a totally changed script and design. The site’s main focus is to make it more Social, Responsive and visually stunning. As more than 30% of its readers access the site from phones or tablets, it’s now more responsive to attract more viewership. The social sharing is much easier by knowing which stories are trending on the site.

MySpace
Although most of the critics still doesn’t feel good about MySpace’s new look, but it does incorporated various functionalities in a good manner. Many say it copied the format of Pinterest, but with more stunning pictures and features. We say it’s good to see your personal pictures and statuses in a better-than-Facebook way and we say MySpace did the same.

Ebay
The world’s biggest online shopping and auction portal eBay revamped its website around October second week. Ebay’s new website aims to provide a convenient way of browsing and buying. New search results, home page items, streamlined product views and details. Ebay also released an iTunes app called Ebay Now for easier shopping.

When you click on a story, it comes as a pop-up with trending stories streamlining in the back.

Amazon
Amazon’s home page got a new makeover around August end and also released a finger-friendly site for tablets or phone. The homepage is cleaner with sign-in, account and add-to-cart features. The home page features more products with various categories, special offers and trending products. What we dislike is they have kept the product title and category fonts unchanged which are repeated in the details page too. The navigation links are not so catch too. But overall it’s a good makeover.

LinkedIn
LinkedIn has gone through the biggest profile redesigning in October by adding lots of features and visual presentation of user profiles. Users have a big picture of themselves, with focused profile description, activities and background information. LinkedIn incorporated rich visual insights of people and companies in user networks. Recent activities, connection activities and skill endorsements are some of the features are visually improvised.

Paypal 
PayPal got slicker with its new customer oriented design. As per the people in PayPal says PayPal’s previous design is more of its products focused than customers. But this new look will be more user friendly with easy navigation and intuitive login process. The menus and labels on the site has been revamped to feature the special offerings from the site and an ‘explore’ link is placed where users can check for newest and exciting innovations from PayPal.

AOL Mail
Aol rolled out its new look which would be the biggest in last five years.

Some other Redesigns of 2012

Microsoft: Microsoft has a new logo after 25 year: After 25 years Microsoft has redesigned its logo which summed more slaps than claps as some say it’s been inspired from Google Chrome or not enough to be a logo made after 25 years. Whatever it may be Microsoft grows with its new products like Surface and Windows 8.
