erin andrews video peep

Two Web site says ESPN is looking at an employee as the Peeping Tom in the Erin Andrews case.

Radar Online says its sources confirm that ESPN is doing a full-scale internal investigation into who shot video of reporter Erin Andrews undressing and posted that video online. TMZ.com also issued a similar report.

Radar says there are seven videos of Andrews and its source says the footage was probably shot by an employee at ESPN.

ESPN is "freaking out, freaking!" the source told Radar.

That account is similar to TMZ's report ,which indicates there are six videos, and that the videos were shot in different hotels, by someone familiar with Andrews' travel schedule.

TMZ says it has viewed the six video segments taken and published without Andrews’ knowledge and permission, and the videos were shot at different times in different cities.

The videos raise the suspicion, TMZ says, that the person who shot them knew her work schedule and was traveling with her.

Lawyers for ESPN and Andrews are feverishly working to find the person responsible for the invasion of the reporter’s privacy.

It was not clear when the video first appeared on the Internet. Most of the links to it had been removed by Tuesday. There are reports that the videos of Andrews, 31, were posted in February 2009 on the Web site Dailymotion but not noticed until recently.

Ephraim Cohen, a spokesman for the video portal Dailymotion, could not confirm the video had actually appeared on his company's site, but said it may have been there months ago.

He said a search for the name of the user who purportedly uploaded the video showed the person had opened an account in February, but had since closed it.

"As far as we can tell, the user took the account and the video down a while ago,'' he said.

Illegal videos often are posted to multiple sites such as YouTube and Dailymotion, which remove them as soon as they are found. The videos also often circulate on peer-to-peer or file-sharing sites, much like illegal music downloads.

Graham Cluley, who writes a blog for the antivirus software maker Sophos, wrote that several links purporting to send Internet users to the Andrews video actually sent them to sites with malicious software and computer viruses.

He said the some of the hackers actually include a portion of the video on their sites, apparently hoping that the malware gets passed along as users share the link with friends.

"They keep on using (videos like this) because it works,'' Cluley said. "If more people thought with their head rather than with their trousers, maybe less of these viruses would spread on our computers.''

Sophos.com says the malware programs affect both Macs and PCs, and can catch Mac users off guard, since they have been led to believe all Macs are not susceptible to hacking.

The prurient interest many people have in seeing the “Erin Andrews peephole pictures” may end up with potential peeping Tom’s computers needing a visit to the repair shop. That’s because malicious hackers have made up a number of web pages designed to lure people in on the promise of satisfying their perverted fantasies but end up instead with installing malware that will quickly wreak havoc on their PCs.

People who are casually searching for such terms as “erin andrews peephole video link”, “erin andrews peephole megaupload”, or even “erin andrews peephole photos” will likely end up at a website that just doesn’t have their best interests in mind.

As Erin Andrews’ lawyer has already stated, any such pictures were taken without her consent. Now attempting to find these pictures could institute a major security risk for the unwitting dolts still desperately seeking them.

“There are lots more sites out there pretending to host the Erin Andrews peephole video, but really hosting malicious software,” wrote Graham Cluley of anti-virus software maker Sophos in a blog post.

“Hackers have created Web pages claiming to contain the notorious … video in their attempt to infect Mac and Windows computers,” he wrote.

“And — surprise, surprise — if you visit those Web pages you could be putting the security of your computer at real risk.”

Both Andrews and her employer ESPN have reacted angrily to the pictures being posted and have threatened to run down and persecute anyone involved. They maintain that Andrews is the victim of a crime and that any websites that host the images will be considered “an accessory after the fact” and could face criminal or civil penalties of their own.

That warning alone should be enough to stop any legitimate website from running the pictures. That fact alone should cause people to wonder about the legitimacy of any website they plan on visiting when it claims to have those pictures. If they’re willing to break the law so flagrantly and are so unconcerned with the concepts of personal freedom, you certainly can’t expect them to care about personal property either. So don’t be surprised when your computer stops working after your attempts to get a glimpse of the “peephole pictures.”

Of course the peephole pictures won’t be leaving the internet any time soon. Nothing ever does. Certainly many people who originally saw the photos downloaded them to their hard drives and can quickly upload them again to a new web page. Most likely Erin Andrews won’t be able to stop the dissemination of the pics no matter how much time, effort, and money she puts into it. As long as the internet remains relatively “anonymous” and people can view such pictures with relatively no pain they will.

After all, it’s just human nature to be curious about what celebrities look like naked.

It’s also just human nature to fake people out and install malware on their computers.

If you are an Internet Peeping Tom, I caution you to use great care in what sites you visit and always think twice about “installing” any software, no matter what the perceived benefits may be.

Phil Kessel and the Boston Bruins are getting nowhere fast, and the there seems to be no end to their contract squabble. GM Peter Chiarelli has no doubt about what's ahead for the 21-year-old winger who scored 36 goals last season. He will be back, Chiarelli told NESN, the Bruins' telecast outlet.

"I don't like to talk about negotiations, but he's a player of impact. [He has] the speed, and he's still a young player," Chiarelli said.

"I can't dismiss me talking about players to trade because that's my job. It's unfortunate that [trade rumors] leak out but Phil's a good person -- a very good person and a very good player -- and we fully intend to keep him."

The Bruins' need for offensive talent would back up Chiarelli's sentiments.

The question is what will happen with other players as the Bruins try to stay under the salary cap. Defenseman Matt Hunwick is headed for arbitration, and the team is likely to accept the arbiter's decision. However, NESN notes that forwards Chuck Kobasew and Michael Ryder and defensemen Aaron Ward and Andrew Ference have been mentioned in trade rumors. Until a deal with Kessel is made, the team won't know if it must cut salary or how much.

The sooner the deal is done, the better, because the Bruins' return in trade might diminish the longer things drag out.

Meanwhile, questions are being asked about Kessel. Nobody seems to be calling about a deal or pitching a free-agent offer sheet.

Despite his scoring prowess, the Worcester Telegraph says critics point to Kessel's aversion to defensive play, "lack of a physical game and his allegedly weak role in the team dynamic."

Those questions could be pushed aside as Kessel matures, and the Bruins know he can be a presence in the playoffs. That means a contract settlement would be in the best thing for both the player and the team, assuming it falls within a reasonable financial plan. ...

Roman Polak and the Blues continue a long, slow negotiation but have yet to settle on a contract. Polak, 23, is a restricted free agent, meaning the Blues have control of his rights if the two sides are unable to negotiate a contract extension. The Blues say that while discussions have been drawn out, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports, they remain amicable, and the club is confident Polak will be re-signed by the start of training camp in mid-September. ...

To fill the hole left by the departure of Sergei Fedorov, the Capitals are counting on center Brendan Morrison as a second-line center. Morrison is a good playmaker with experience and has 505 points in 755 games. He fits the team's desire to get strong center to anchor their lines. The team also counts on defenseman Shaone Morrisonn to continue his improvement. Entering his fifth season with the team, he will be a stay-at-home defenseman and comes off a plus-4 season. ...

The Senators signed 2008 No. 1 pick Erik Karlsson before their prospect camp and see him as a good bet to crack the lineup this season. There were concerns about Karlsson's lack of size, but he has gained 20 pounds in the past year. ...

Having done little in free agency, the Devils' biggest offseason move so far was bringing Jacques Lemaire back as coach. They made a minor signing in giving veteran defenseman Cory Murphy a two-way deal. He had five goals and 10 assists last season with the Lightning, all on the power play. ...

Rick DiPietro remains on target to be skating by August and good to go for the start of Islanders training camp in September. Just to be sure, they signed Dwayne Roloson as a backup but also as a veteran starter if necessary. DiPietro had two knee surgeries that limited him to five games last season.

This story isn’t making me want to stay in a hotel room anytime soon. Or look up celebrity sex tapes for that matter…

ESPN reporter Erin Andrews had her privacy violated when she was videotaped undressing in her hotel room without her even knowing. Now people who are looking for this tape are having their computers violated. There are lots of web pages claiming to have links to the tape. But if you click on it, you’re letting a virus into your computer.

I’ll admit, I’m a fan of the celebrity sex tapes and scandalous photos. Whether it’s a hot celebrity, a revolting celebrity, a man or a woman, I have to see it! I even looked up a naked Danny Bonaduce on Perez Hilton once…urgh, it was even worse than you’d expect. But as they say, curiosity killed the cat, so it might just come to bite me in the butt – like it did for all the web users who were trying to find links to Erin Andrews undressing in her hotel room.
