Many passwords are not stored securely and can be read by anyone with backend access. It's a horrible practice but occurs all the time. Often for high level execs help desk / IT people are given passwords to do troubleshooting etc. again bad practice but happens.TomTerrific said:And why the fuck does he even have his passwords written down in a list for them to see?
Yeah, I guess I believe that. I naively thought all anyone stored was the encrypted or hashed passwords, but I should have known better.NortheasternPJ said:Many passwords are not stored securely and can be read by anyone with backend access.

I find it difficult to think of this as a hack. Entering a readily available password is a crime even CSI: Cyber wouldn't investigate.E5 Yaz said:Okay, now I see that it appears to be a "master list of passwords" that Luhnow and those who went with him to Houston.
This has clown car written all over it

I was going to use Cardinal-ghazi, but that's too unwieldy. Maybe Cardinazi?moretsyndrome said:I have 2 questions:

What is coming before "-gate" here?

What makes the St. Louis Cardinals hacking scandal really great, aside from the fact that it involves the St. Louis Cardinals, is that it could not have happened if everyone involved hadn’t acted as stupidly as possible.

John Mozeliak was seen taking his laptop into the bathroom and locking the door for a total of 6 minutes and 12 seconds. He was seen leaving the bathroom with a satisfied smile on his face.
We've also uncovered a series of texts between Mozellak and Matheny:
Matheny: Hey pringle nuts. Still fooling around on the computer?
Mozellak: Ya, I'm determined to win by any means necessary.
Mozellak: I've got to be careful though, one false move and it's game over.
Matheny: Landmines everywhere, huh?
Mozellak: Ya, and if anyone catches me doing this I'm in big trouble.
Matheny: Well, hurry up, I need to talk to you about Molina. He's been hacking at everything lately.
Mozellak: Big moves, easy as 1-2-3! You should see all the info I just unlocked!
Mozellak says he was talking about playing Minesweeper during an executive meeting, but we find this explanation to be not credible. Also, Yadier Molina hasn't turned over his diary to us, as requested.
No, no. He's consulting Belichick, Hannibal Lecter style.loshjott said:He's in Boston, eh? Investigating links to the Patriots, no doubt.

By now, you know that the St. Louis Cardinals—the sports equivalent of the Duggar clan—are currently under investigation by the FBI for hacking into a Houston Astros database. (The FBI! That means they’re fucked.) And not only did they allegedly hack into another team’s system, but they allegedly did it in the clumsiest, most easily detectable way possible. Unlike other over-covered sports scandals, this one includes actual crime! Real cheating! A legitimate threat to the integrity of the game! THIS IS NOT WINNING THE RIGHT WAY.

in keeping with baseball tradition, a Houston exec should walk into the STL offices and hit their best front office guy with a fastball

They had a master list of every password he used during his 8 years with the Cardinals. That could be 1-3 passwords or 400. I guess I'm not paranoid enough if this is how I should always act when creating new passwords. I still try to use different alphanumeric and special character passwords each time (probably some overlap), but it looks more and more like password security is an illusion. Just cold comfort to help people sleep at night.Savin Hillbilly said:

We'll have to see if there's traction, but for now it's getting wide play.
FWIW, that wasn't Passan's tweet. It was linked on the first page of this thread. it was somebody named Scott Newport tweeting at Jeff PassanYTF said:@JeffPassan as a lifelong Cardinals fan I look at this as nothing more than stealing signs. Astros plunk Carpenter and it's all over.
I love this. Passan equates this with and makes it sound as if it was nothing more than some scout openly sitting in the bleachers with a pair of binoculars.
