A federal indictment has uncovered the computer access crimes that led to Matt Weiss’ firing.
The United States Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Michigan announced Thursday that the former Michigan quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator has been charged with a 24-count indictment, which alleges 14 counts of unauthorized access to computers and 10 counts of aggravated identity theft.
According to the indictment, between approximately 2015 and January 2023, Weiss gained unauthorized access to student-athlete databases of over 100 colleges and universities that a third-party vendor maintained.
After Weiss gained access, he downloaded the personally identifiable information and medical data of over 150,000 athletes.
