Former Cardinals Exec Gets 4-Year Prison Sentence for “Hacking” Astros' Database

Here's the write up from SI[1], which has a lot more analysis.

Found this part interesting: In his plea agreement with prosecutors, Correa acknowledged that he employed “sophisticated means” to mask his identity and location.

So I'm assuming he just used a VPN to mask his IP? How sophisticated did the Cardinals get, here?

Probably too early to tell if the Astros science experiment is working, but for those interested this[2] write-up from a few years ago is some great reading for the Baseball inclined.
