Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow has not been able to say much about the hacking scandal that was allegedly orchestrated by members of the St. Louis Cardinals organization, but he did shoot down one popular theory on Thursday.
In an interview with Ben Reiter of Sports Illustrated, Luhnow said it is “absolutely false” that the Astros’ electronic security was compromised because he was using old passwords.
“I absolutely know about password hygiene and best practices. I’m certainly aware of how important passwords are, as well as of the importance of keeping them updated,” he explained.
