Driscoll, head of New York City’s FBI office, had this to say about the extortion attempt on the MLB.

However, despite already being ahead of the game and being relatively safe, Streit decided he wanted more and tried to extort Rob Manfred and the MLB with threats to expose the system flaws of MLB. It’s already a bold move to try and hack the system of the four biggest leagues in America. “Federal authorities said Streit hacked into the computer systems of MLB, the NBA, the NFL and the NHL to stream copyrighted live games before trying to extort $150,000 from MLB with threats to publicize alleged vulnerabilities in MLB’s internet infrastructure.”
