WARNING: This threat is still active.Her name may not have made it on the list of the Most Dangerous Celebrities to Search Online, but looking for Beyonce photos that are NSFW can still lead you to a malware infection.
GFI Labs warns that cybercriminals have setup a trap for anyone that dares to type in “beyonce nude” in Google’s search engine and click the following link:
The link will take you to a Flickr page containing an image of an embedded video player (clever). Said image will redirect you to a third-party website that will prompt you to download an exe file before viewing the [nonexistent] video.

Don’t bother downloading whatever “video player” or browser plugin they’re pushing. There’s no video, and you definitely won’t be seeing Beyonce in her birthday suit.
You've been warned!
