That’s a pretty far reaching espionage. It’s one thing to join another corporation and reveal some inner workings.

It’s another entirely to use your old credentials to hack into a competitors computer systems and continue accessing all of their data.

Although the Knicks also need to be much better with their security.

its not detailed in this piece, but if i remember the original details:

  • it wasn't old credentials, the employee in question was still employed by the Knicks at the time
  • consequently there wasn't any hacking done, just usage of the existing log in for a platform called Synergy
  • Synergy is used by every NBA team and the video-enhanced offering allows for the curation of playlists/clips. the employee in question linked these videos in emails to the Raptors staff (an example was clips around guarding Luka Doncic?)
  • any team with access to Synergy can recurate these videos, there's just likely legwork in the process (i have no idea what Synergy's ease-of-life features are for transferring user settings/creations to a different team-based account)
