dave mcbride Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Well, really if your going to cheat, you should be doing it to a better franchise then the Astros. ....... The Astros are completely loaded and the best young team in baseball right now ... I cannot pretend to be much of a baseball fan. So someone please help me understand what advantages a team could gain by hacking another team's computer systems? Evidence and details about every player in the Astros very deep system.

KollegeStudnet Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) When they first started handing out ipads, it was for sure going to happen.

KD in CA Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 It was barely even hacking. The guy started a player database, got hired by a new club and they never changed the password/closed his login at the former team. So he kept using it. on a scale of 1 to high tech spy.... It's a notch below guessing "password" as someone's password. And as the article states: scouting reports, proprietary stats they use in evaluations, etc.... Wow....I didn't read too far into the stories but is that really what happened?!? Posting the stuff online is probably where he (justifiably) gets in some trouble, but it is inexcusable for a billion dollar organization to have IT procedures that would embarrass the local PTA.

bobblehead Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) The Sabres are what the Astros are , only a year or so behind. Very similar situations, the same model: gut the team, start over, rely on kids and draft picks. The Astros are way deep, and winning earlier than expected, and I hope the Sabres follow suit.

vincec Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 They should just have paid someone in China or Russia to do it. Then there would've been no reprocussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work for (job ending this week) Verizon and many of the passwords are just "password" and often passwords are in clear text in logs. One of the worst IT departments I have ever seen in almost 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just hired better hackers who haven't been caught yet. Boston has a lot of tech types.
