Investigation in Liverpool's 'hacking' of our computer systems

Do we honestly believe action will be taken against the dippers ?

I am worried that the fact most of the press/media wont run the story, the premier league and fa seem reluctant to look into seriously.

To me it's a very serious offence but the silence from everywhere is worrying me. The dippers got away with coach attack(17k fine is getting away with it in my eyes )etc nothing seems to stick on them.

I tried fighting our corner on another forum telling them about the dippers actions and about Boston red socks , the dippers shirt sponsor etc etc all that happen was that no one believed it and just called me bitter etc cos City arent top. Plus I was banned lol

I hope this isnt sweepted under the carpet but my gut says the dippers will get away with it, and the press will turn it against City

I feel 95% certain that absolutely nothing will come of all this.

• Section 1 – causing a computer to perform a function with intent to secure unauthorised access to computer materia This offence involves 'access without right' and is often the precursor to more serious offending. There has to be knowledge on the part of the offender that the access is unauthorised; mere recklessness is not sufficient. There also must have been an intention to access a program or data held in a computer. Note the offence is committed irrespective of whether access is obtained.

I could tell you my logon details for work but that doesn't mean you have been authorised by my employer to use them.
If you left the employ and then knowingly logged in using someone else credentials then that is clearly unauthorised use and you would have a hard time explaining to a judge why it wasn't.

The highlighted bit looks like a grey area to me. They didn't hack a computer belonging to Manchester City, they accessed the cloud based system belonging to Scout7.

You must be a glass half full type of person. You give it a 5% chance the fa may charge liverpool. Far too optimistic in my view. More chance of city being charged for accepting the (bribe) money.

The cloud is basically just 'somebody else's computer', its still a computer and the data on that computer belonged to Manchester City. The law would make absolutely no distinction between personal computer, business computer, private or public cloud. It still a computer.
