NYT: FBI investigating the Cardinals for hacking the Astros

[Kenny]

Personally, I hate the Giants most. Fans up here have come out of hiding after never seeing Giant fans around

I was just at Disneyland and saw more Giants/Warriors fans than ever before.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Shit.  I as hoping that this thread was FBI investigating ASG voting.

[Mark68]

Shit.  I as hoping that this thread was FBI investigating ASG voting.

No, but it was suggested in the ASG voting thread.

[Inside Pitch]

This won't even rise to the level of "Arte Moreno says mean things about Josh Hamilton and that is mean and hurts feelings" in the national media. They're already writing their "one bad apple/disgruntled computer nerd" stories.

 

Yup, the ESPN piece closed by preaching patience and letting it all play out.   The righteous indignation has yet to materialize.

[Thomas]

I'm surprised the FBI hasn't already blamed China as the US government blames every other computer intrusion.

Well done, FBI.

 

They were hacked in 2013 and you're just now issuing subpoenas for electronic records. 

[tomsred]

Is there a more hateable National League team than the Cardinals?

 

Boston, I know they are in the American League, but they should be in the National League.

[nate]

I like the Cards... and the Giants.  Mostly because I hate the Dodgers and the Dodgers hate those two teams.  Enemy of my enemy etc.

Absolutely brilliant.

i agree

seriously.

model franchise, my ass

[Hoops McCann]

Didn't think I could hate the Cardinals more than I already did but they found a way. "The Cardinal way" What a joke.

must be hard hating continued success and excellence. 

[Hoops McCann]

Maybe I'm over reacting but I think this is reason enough to strip the franchise rights from the current owners and put the team up for sale. Kind of like banning the White Sox from baseball the Commissioner could iron fist this so it never happens again. Until Pete Rose owns a team.

overreact much?

[Hoops McCann]

Is there a more hateable National League team than the Cardinals?

success breeds hatred, but I'll take consolation in 11 WS championships or 19 NL penants. 

 

And, the answer is...Cubs.

[Jobu]

Why link? Hoops is copying the best quotes over... right?

[Jobu]

The best part is how the best fans on baseball ™ are blaming the Astros as if they called up the FBI tip line. Instead of it being like, ya know, a pretty serious federal crime.

[Hoops McCann]

I will say this.  If this is indeed true, whatever punishment the FBI and MLB lays down will be totally warranted.

 

I am certain that the senior executives didnt know about this as the hack was very unsophisticated and noted it was easily traceable.  I'd like to believe if this was sanctioned by the team, they would at least use better hackers and a proxy server to avoid being caught.

[Chimi]

Manfred already spinning it so MLB doesn't have to do anything to the Cardinals.

 

"To assume that that investigation is going to produce a particular result with respect to the Cardinals -- let alone to jump to the use of the word like cyber-attack -- I just think that we don't know that those are the facts yet.  There is an ongoing investigation; we've been fully cooperative. Obviously, any allegation like this, no matter how serious it turns out to be, is of great concern to us. But it's just too early to speculate on what the facts are going to turn out to be and what action, if any, is necessary."

Why would we be looking to MLB to police this situation. If laws regarding corporate espionage were broken it will likely result in either the Federal authorities taking action or the Astros may have a basis to bring a lawsuit against the Cardinals. Then it will play out in court. If the Astros prevail, then damages will be assessed by the Court. So why is MLB expected to take action before it is proved in a court of law that a crime occurred and the Astros were damaged?

The password of a high-ranking Astros executive that Chris Correa used to access Astros' systems was based on the name of a player “who was scrawny and who would not have been thought of to succeed in the major leagues, but through effort and determination he succeeded anyway,” assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Chu said on Jan. 8 when Correa pleaded guilty to hacking the Astros in federal court.

 

 

Lol the password had to be Eckstein. Awesome

Plot Twist, the Astros hired the guy to go get a job with the Cardinals, to hack into a altered prospect grading system just so the FBI could come down on the Cards. By the way I have an INO related story if anyone wants to PM me.

Damn, now I want InO.
