In a statement, the MLB said it is “aware of and has fully cooperated with the federal investigation into the illegal breach of the Houston Astros’ baseball operations database.” The organization added, “Once the investigative process has been completed by federal law enforcement officials, we will judge the next steps and will make decisions immediately.” The investigation began after the Astros’ internal trade talks were posted anonymously(匿名地) on the Internet last year. People wanted to know who was responsible for making the private information public.
The two major-league teams had been competitors for a long time, but things became even worse when the Astros hired Jeff Luhnow as their general manager in 2011. Luhnow had previously worked for the Cardinals as head of their player development department. Investigators think the Cardinals may have been able to get inside the Astros’ database using Luhnow’s old passwords from when he was working for the St. Louis team.
This is the first known case of a professional sports team hacking another team’s network, but some cybersecurity(网络安全) experts say other teams may have done it before without getting caught. Craig Newman, chairman of the privacy and data security practice of the New York law firm Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, told the Associated Press that it would be “irresponsible” to assume this is the first incident of hacking in the world of professional sports.
