PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

Dutch media is a joke. Nothing but sycophantic journo’s up United and Liverpool’s bum. All about istree and tradition. Compounded by having pundits like Jaap Stam, Dirk Kuyt etc. Also journo’s like Sjoerd Mossou cozying up to Ten Hag because he got inside access for a diary about United’s road to recovery(sic)

It’s always been an uphill battle , and probably won’t change until we get more Dutch players in. One of the idiots at the Volkskrant newspaper even had an entire bit about all Dutch players who play in the Premiership. The complete idiot, Patrick Ijzendoorn, forgot current Dutch international Aké. Not making it up.
Great post, validates exactly what I said about the anti City rhetoric outside of the UK, the Ajax fans we spoke to were great lads tbf, a lot younger than us but we had a good chat on the train to Amsterdam, they lived about an hour away but always go to the game or go into Amsterdam to watch their team in a bar.

It's all Double Dutch to me.
 
You're actually largely incorrect on this.

The Liverpool one involved the former City employees using an existing enployee's login credentials. I don't know how they got that password (although I'm sure City does) but I do know that the City employee involved was still there a few years later, and may still be. So he wasn't sacked, suggesting he wasn't actively involved in whatever happened. It still puzzles me why we didn't go to the police over this, as it was a clear criminal offence under the Computer Misuse Act.

My understanding of the Pinto hack is that it involved an phishing email designed to look like it came from UEFA, which was opened by a senior club official. You can warn people all you like and carry out regular phishing tests, but there's pretty well no way you can guarantee security if someone doesn't carefully check an email address every time before they open it or click on a link.
It showed a big weakness in security. Misusing the scouting data, including that of very young players, is very serious. It would get you sacked in many organisations.
 
I thought they used an existing users password, if so what exactly is poor about the security procedures?
Other than user education on cyber security, fundamentally it's down to human ineptitude not lax security; you don't change everyone's passwords when one person leaves a company.

Edit: I do agree that we should have more than just password based access i.e. 2FA; but if an existing user's password was used the flaw is with that user
 
It was a third party scouting system.

As far as we know, City contacted them and said X has left, disable his access.

But then X gets to liverpool, logs in and finds he still has access to his dashboard with the city content on.

Did City follow up with the firm and confirm his access was removed?
Did they send an email to the wrong company?
The worst bit was X later being promoted to a very senior job at LFC.
