Need a lawyer to give a view, but corporate espionage is certainly illegal.
And certainly stealing Intellectual Property can see significant damages awarded to those that have the data stolen.

(edit..Reading that a Collingwood Bigfooty poster entered a room where the names of targeted draftees were listed and took a snap.)
I've found one photo which has a list of 10 or so names on it and is a breakdown of forwards we are looking at. Along with a list of key attributes to look for.
Not sure if there are similar for mids and backs.....or whatever else there may have been though

Yeah I'm just wondering if taking a photo of a white board qualifies?
Where was the board so that a Collingwood fan could take a snap?

Fairfax has decided not to publish the photograph(s) so the threat contained in the club's statement must carry some weight.

At first I thought it involved both our senior and women's recruitment strategies. Having the women's info stolen is bad enough but at least the senior list does not seem to be involved, where there could have been a bigger financial impact.

Heart skipped a beat when I first saw the backpage headline this morning......then realised it was for the women's league and couldn't give a krap after that......

Leaving top secret information on a whiteboard is amateur stuff from an amateur club.

Agreed.
The police action threat will be because they are not sure what else the perpetrator photographed, in terms of the other whiteboards, posters or printouts that were left lying around!
They might even be worried this wasn't the first occurrence, just the first one they found out about! :o

Reminds me of a time when I worked at a large corporate in Melbourne and was working on a particular project. We held a project meeting in a conference room which had one of those revolving electronic whiteboards, which initially showed a blank surface. We used that first surface to record information discussed and someone then pressed the copy button and the surface moved around, only to reveal some very sensitive and embarrassing information from a previous meeting concerning staff.
This info. had now pretty much potentially become public! We were all required to sign a non-disclosure agreement before we were allowed of of the room! A very embarrassing situation for the people who'd failed to erase the whiteboard. :-[
