I'm 1000% positive they are not the only team attempting to do such things. This may over shadow UNC in the sports news world. The investigators should probably check to see where the Cardinals hackers went to college. I will be very curious to see if they are treated as a business or get off the hook and get treated as a sports team. That is something that has always shown the integrity and bias standpoint of our justice system. Sports teams who cheat other teams, use unlawful business practices, and other such issues are never punished in the same ways that an every day business would be. The entitlement and treatment of the sports world from Peewee to the Pros has been an unstoppable growth of cancer on the American culture. When is it going to be finally be too much? When are they finally going to cross the line? When will Americans finally stop putting the Entertainment world on such a lofty pedestal. When will our leaders/role models refocus on leadership instead of only their personal interests.
The world of hacking is one that is impossible to fight and that is a scary thing. You can only be reactionary against the best hackers. That is not a fault of out protectors but a fact that until someone has manipulated a piece of code to expose a hack it is practically impossible to spot every single weakness in our protection. Who better to break codes than the number crunching overly obsessed baseball geeks. This won't be the first and it won't be the last incident of this. I'm sure other sports will get caught doing this as well to access playbooks and signals of their opposition.
O well, I'll go drink some clean water, relax in my air conditioning and think about some other first world problem to complain about!
