Hacking a sports team's computer system nets a guy 4 years & $280K in fines. Keeping a country's highly classified data on an unprotected server yields nothing at all - not even a slap on the wrist. We are screwed up.

I wonder what the actual dollar amount of damage this caused to the Astros/MLB.

Reports are its in the $15-20M range.

It was estimated at $1.5M back when they thought he breached it 5 times, but in the sentencing it was revealed he breached it 60 times putting the total cost to the Astros at about $15M.

I presume you mean millions.

$15,000,000-$20,000,000 is certainly worth jail time.

Worth jail time, and given it's federal, he'll do basically the whole stretch. But damn, things are upside down when this gets 4 years while putting our govt in positon to be hacked by russkies and chinamen gets nothing.

For some reason the penny counters and chicken scratchers (upper 10% ha!) all love their roman numeral M's on the books.

Wow, he stole a lot of information and had access to at least 5 email accounts and tried getting access to others.

Wow. **** this guy. So much more than guessing one person's password.

Quote:

Correa intruded again the day before the June draft, revisiting the Astros' preferentially ranked list of draft prospects and also viewing the Astros' page for the Cardinals, their main scouting page and their notes as it related to trade discussions with the Cardinals.

On the third and final day of the draft, Correa filtered through the Astros' rankings of still-available players and reports on two players in particular: Washington State third baseman Adam Nelubowich, whom the Astros drafted in the 18th round, and University of Texas second baseman Erich Weiss, whom the Pittsburgh Pirates took in the 11th round.

The document also shows Correa before the draft accessed private medical records the Astros had collected for Gonzales and two first basemen whom the Astros later drafted, Conrad Gregor (fourth round) and Chase McDonald (12th round).

And he accessed private medical records too. That's a whole different ballgame than just looking at evaluations and trade notes.

This guy needs a long time in prison, and the league better bend the Cardinals over the barrel big time.

I'll take that!!

Honesty it's more than I thought would happen. I didn't expect us t get anything. Figured they would just forfeit the picks, but good to see they're going to us.

In the CBA, $2 million is the most a team can be fined, so that's essentially a max fine.

Love the fact that MLB did not just exact a punishment but gave all the benefit to the team harmed.
