Chris Correa, The man responsible for the Cardinals hacking the Astros database entering a guilty plea Friday:
The former scouting director of the St. Louis Cardinals pleaded guilty Friday to criminal charges in connection with an unauthorized breach of the Houston Astros computer network. It was the first known case of cyber-espionage involving a professional sports team hacking into another team’s database.
…
Appearing in Houston federal court, Mr. Correa pled guilty to five counts of unauthorized access to computer information. Each count carries a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Correa was able to get the ranked list of draft candidates from the Astros. I just wonder if he did this on his own, or if others in the Cardinals organization knew and did nothing to stop it.
