**EX-MICHIGAN ASSISTANT MATT WEISS SEEN ON VIDEO HACKING INTO STUDENT ACCOUNTS, SECURITY FOOTAGE REVEALS**
Shocking new evidence has emerged in the ongoing case against former Michigan assistant coach Matt Weiss, who was accused of hacking into students' personal accounts to obtain explicit photos. According to a search warrant affidavit filed by federal investigators, security cameras at Schembechler Hall captured footage of Weiss allegedly committing the crimes in December 2022.
The FBI's investigation into Weiss began several months ago, when agents seized thousands of photos and videos related to the case. Since then, multiple news outlets have reported on the allegations against Weiss, who worked under Jim Harbaugh at Michigan before his termination in early 2023.
As revealed in the search warrant affidavit obtained by The Athletic, security cameras caught Weiss accessing private student files from computers inside Michigan's football facility. The indictment against Weiss alleges that he downloaded the information of over 150,000 athletes and used it to hack into their social media, email, and cloud storage accounts.
Notably, a significant portion of the alleged hacking occurred during a 72-hour period in December 2022, while Michigan's football team was preparing for its College Football Playoff game against TCU. At the time, Weiss served as co-offensive coordinator under Harbaugh, working alongside assistant coach Sherrone Moore.
The indictment against Weiss includes 24 federal charges: 14 counts of unauthorized access to computers and 10 counts of aggravated identity theft. He pleaded not guilty to all charges in March, sparking widespread outrage among students, athletes, and faculty members at Michigan.
Before joining the Wolverines, Weiss worked as an assistant coach for the Baltimore Ravens from 2009-2020. His departure from Michigan was swift, with the university suspending him in January 2023 following an initial investigation into "computer crimes." While details of the case against Weiss continue to emerge, one thing is clear: his actions have left a lasting impact on the lives of countless students and athletes.
**The Evidence Against Weiss**
As part of their investigation, federal agents obtained a dozen images allegedly stolen during hacking attempts by Weiss in December 2022. The pictures, which were included as evidence in the search warrant affidavit, are said to have been obtained through unauthorized access to student accounts.
The indictment against Weiss paints a disturbing picture of a coach who used his position and access to exploit vulnerable students for personal gratification. As investigators continue to unravel the scope of Weiss's alleged crimes, one question remains: how could someone with such power and influence abuse it in such a heinous way?
