LOL @ the Cardinals rep being “tarnished” nobody is even talking about this anymore. I forgot about it until this update.

That was my thought… That and some fans will actually privately cheer at the teeth these password crackers displayed.
I mean….people are putting down hundreds of dollars to attend single games….I’d say their economic choices might be questionable anyway. People aren’t asking many questions anyway.

Maybe the Cardinals brand has been tarnished, but that’s a bit silly, at this point. If it’s proven that upper management was involved/knew about the breach, then I can see how it would tarnish the organization as a whole. As it stands now, it appears to be some low level employee(s) seeking revenge on Lunhow. That’d be like if the Rangers had a player in the minors test positive for steroids, so we labeled the entire Rangers team steroid users/cheaters.
It is absolutely wrong and whoever is involved should be held accountable. But making it like this is the “Cardinals hacking the Astros” is nothing more than narrative driven.

That’s funny…..in a most peculiar way.

What an amazing non-story.
Dudes don’t change passwords when quitting their job. Piss off people they left behind. Grumpy kids (TOR is not for “hacking” btw) do some password guessing and then instead of doing anything useful with what they come up with, just leak it to make somebody embarassed.
This has basically squat to do with the Cardinals, and way more to do with the fact that the Astros hire people who have no idea what they’re doing. If anything it should make them look bad in equal or greater amounts. If the Cardinals have responsibility over the actions of all their employees, the Astros sure should as well all the way from the IT staff at the bottom, to the execs who should know better than to use the same password at a new job for the same service.
I know the narrative wants to be hammered in that the Cardinals are the new Patriots but come on, this reeks of a little desperate yellow journalism here all around.

The fact is that the Cards employees weren’t doing it to gain an edge. That completely takes it away from Patriot territory. It does display a serious lack of survival instinct on the part of these Cardinal employees though.
