Earlier today we reported that the peephole video shot of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews unclothed in her hotel room had sparked an internet search engine frenzy matched in force only by the anger with which Andrews and her lawyers are seeking to find who is responsible for the video.
TMZ is now reporting, however, that the video may not have been shot through a peephole after all, but instead, via a hole drilled in the wall through which a manually operated camera can be controlled from a remote location.
Although there are no confirmed reports of this being the case yet, it is alleged by the New York Post that the video is up for sale to the highest bidder.
A number of adult video distribution companies are similarly said to have placed a high bounty on the raw video footage.
Tonight, millions are scouring the web in search of a criminal video that clearly violates the privacy of one of sports most beloved reporters.
And while authorities are yet to catch the perpetrator, people searching for the video are likely to catch something else.
As reported this morning, phony clips of the video are being used to circulate a potentially harmful virus or Trojan.
Computers are crashing as we speak. If yours joins the bunch, your IT guy may find out why.
