Erin Andrews' Nude Video Maybe Infected

Erin Andrews has been receiving a lot of press lately, whether it's about her chords being yanked during an interview, her chin being hit by a foul ball from Alex Cora, or her love for pulled-pork sandwiches. Recently an Internet rumor started that blew these stories out of the water. A controversial nude video of the sexy US sports reporter has surface on the Internet. "While alone in the privacy of her hotel room, Erin Andrews was surreptitiously videotaped without her knowledge or consent. She was the victim of a crime and is taking action to protect herself and help ensure that others are not similarly violated in the future." (Prnewswire)

Sophos, an IT security and control firm, has released a warning to be wary of websites claiming to host Erin Andrews' controversial nude video. "... hackers are using the hype surrounding the hidden camera tape to distribute malware that will infect both PC and Mac computer systems." (munciefreepress)

If you feel the need to search for this nude video which violates the privacy of Erin Andrews, just listen to some advice from Sophos Senior Technology Consultant Graham Cluley "... if you want to look at naked women, buy yourself an adult magazine or get yourself a girlfriend. If you go searching for sleazy videos then don't be surprised if it's not just your mind that ends up corrupted, but your computer, too."
