FBI Investigation Unveils Disturbing Hacking Scandal Impacting Female Athletes
In a shocking turn of events, Hannah, a collegiate basketball player, received a letter from the FBI informing her that she may be a victim of a federal crime. The investigation, centered on a former University of Michigan offensive coordinator, Matthew Weiss, has revealed a disturbing scheme involving the unauthorized access of personal accounts of over 2,000 female athletes.
According to the FBI’s Victim Services Division, Weiss is accused of hacking into the email, social media, and cloud storage accounts of thousands of female athletes over several years, culminating in an indictment that charges him with 14 counts of unauthorized computer access and 10 counts of aggravated identity theft. The allegations trace back to his tenure at Michigan, where he was terminated in January 2023 after suspicious computer activity was reported.
Hannah, alongside multiple plaintiffs, has since filed a class-action lawsuit against Weiss and the implicated third-party data management company, Keffer Development Services. Victims, including athletes from various schools, express frustration over the lack of communication from their universities concerning the security breaches. As many are left questioning the compromised safety of their personal and medical information, legal representatives have labeled the situation a form of "cyber sexual assault," emphasizing the severe trauma inflicted on the victims.
Lawyers are demanding expedited discovery to unveil details about the infringements and the actions taken by implicated institutions, such as Michigan. In light of prior scandals involving the university and its athletes, victims like Sam Roy feel betrayed once more, urging accountability from the very institutions meant to protect them. As the case unfolds, the need for transparency and support for affected athletes has never been more critical.
