Emma Stone, star of new movie Zombieland, is being used as bait by cybercriminals in a naked picture scam.


Emma Stone naked pictures warning

Security experts have warned surfers not to search for pictures of Zombieland actress Emma Stone naked.

According to Jerome Segura, security analyst at ParetoLogic, cybercriminals have created web pages that can be found using Google containing the keywords 'Emma Stone nude'.

The page actually contains rogueware – sometimes referred to as scareware or Fake AV – and will even prompt false warning messages to appear on the iPhone.

"The file is for Windows but we can see the potential for running an exploit that targets the iPhone," Segura wrote on his Malware Diaries blog.

Zombieland, which opened in the US this weekend, blends comedy with elements from thrillers and zombie flicks. The movie also stars Woody Harrelson.

Top Celebrity scams to avoid


Stone is not the first female celebrity to have her name used in such a scam.

In the recent past, Ashley Greene, Megan Fox, Angelina Jolie, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears have all been used as bait in similar scams.
