Man Arrested for trying to sell Pep’s hacked emails

[its grim up north]

Could this new news item, being released now, be a way of reintroducing the scouse hacking scandal into the public domain?

 

[City Raider]

So have The Sun played him along to see what he had? Made him think they’d pay the money, realised there were no bombshells in there so made him the story? Serves him right if so.

Someone needs to sort out our network security

Employ this hacker

He worked as a contractor for us for two years from 2016.

He was working inside the club and accessed all of Pep's contacts from his phone on a Proton Mail encrypted email account.

The story also mentions the Liverpool hack.

Implies to me that he was given Pep's password, I know from experience that Proton Mail destroys everything when you ask to reset your password, just in case.

I have a feeling the club are now throwing the twats responsible to the wolves and leaking info as and when we want to as we build up to the CAS case.

The IT sector relies heavily on contractors so businesses are always at risk of data leakage, either intentionally or accidentally. This guy's career is over and hopefully City push for jail time as that will send a message to anyone else thinking about doing the same. The contractor seemingly was employed by a consultancy so I do hope they have the necessary insurance to cover their employee's actions. That said, you can employ as much security as you want, there simply isn't a way of totally preventing this kind of act if someone wants to do it. Hopefully everyone at City has been briefed about the security weakness of emails and not to discuss or reveal sensitive info in them.

Hopefully they get named and can be paid a visit.

You should seriously think about deleting this.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

Didn't he mention something about being spied on in a recent prezzer ? Pretty sure it was when Barca were mentioned with regard to our ban announcement.

Its time to get the fax machine up and running again.

Carrier pigeon?
Lots in Piccadilly

Another one, interesting.

I think the "football is bent" or whatever his website is called said that they had a ton of information for City but they refused to hand it over as they knew people within the club were working against the club so it wasn't going to be held up. Might be something to that after all.

Yes it is called football is fixed:

"Manchester City also leaks like a sieve. We know of 8 individuals (including three players) who do not have Manchester City's best interests at heart either deliberately by batting for the other side or via inefficiencies and stupidities undermining the operation.
And this has impact.
Another example - Oxbridge educated Vicky Kloss is Chief Communications Officer at the club.
Yet on foreign trips she is the biggest source of cybersecurity weakness in the entire enterprise as she repeatedly flouts internal security rules and standards.
A rogue operator could hack into City via targeting Ms Kloss.
And she used to work for the police!!!
Cybersecure she is not."
"
The initial business model at Manchester City was simple but enlightening - sovereign wealth + meritocracy = growth + expansion.
And for a number of years this worked. Wonderfully.

But the weakness was in the structure.
Private fiefdoms became established in the club (particularly within the self-harming entity that is Manchester City Analytics) and bottlenecks of inefficiency developed at key communication points while numerous individuals surfed their performance protecting their mortgages and private school financing while adding little to the overall project.

The evolution of these fiefdoms has entirely undermined the club.
Meritocracy has been trumped by mediocrity.
Good people are leaving and others (like the Football is Fixed Network) are not willing to get involved - we refuse to work with any entity that leaks and withdraw immediately in such instance (as we did with City).

Leading people in Manchester City Analytics have been sacked recently following our disclosures of deliberate leakage of proprietary analytics to Liverpool (via a mafia-influenced route) and absolute poverty of performance in assessing corruptions being perpetrated against Manchester City's interests. City have lost Sancho and the 2019/20 Premier League title because of Manchester City Analytics - the entire entity needs disbanding and rebuilding more professionally."
