Been sent an odd video by friend, unsure what to think

Friends with 2 guys I used to work with who are about 3-4 years younger than me (I'm mid 30s] I worked with them for nearly 2 years but no longer work for that department, there are a few other friends I keep in touch with from that job but they don't know each other.

I see the 2 guys about 3 times a year for a coffee/lunch and i did so last week. I'm married, i think they're both single but never been anything untoward, they've never flirted or anything. We talk about work, property market, travel, cars, usual stuff. Odd whatsapp in between for birthdays, job news etc.

Anyway one of them has just sent me a video out of nowhere of a young woman with very large/pert breasts running in a swimsuit causing them to bob up and down, and a group of techy sort of men are breaking their necks to stare at her.

Not replied and no idea what to do, shall I just ignore? Completely out of the blue, he's quite a serious sort of man too, I've never heard him talk about women or anything. Any thoughts?

I'd think he'd been hacked. I've had various odd videos sent over the years which were nothing to do with the supposed sender.

I would reply, 'I'm assuming that wasn't for me," and leave it there.

It could be a genuine mistake or deliberate. Either way, let him know not to do it again. And realise that he's actually a creep.

I would probably reply with "Why have you sent me that?!"

We never send each other videos even, as I say the in-between messaging is very sporadic!
