US EditionJim Harbaugh, Santa Ono Sued in Expanding Matt Weiss Hacking Case

- The lawsuit claims that Harbaugh and university officials failed to oversee Weiss’s misconduct, allowing the hacking and victim harm to continue unaddressed.
- Federal prosecutors state Weiss accessed data on over 150,000 athletes and over 3,000 accounts during unauthorized breaches between Dec 2022 and early 2023 at Schembechler Hall.
- The lawsuit now includes over 13 civil cases with more than 80 plaintiffs, citing harm such as loss of NIL rights and stolen data, as it expands legally.
- As legal proceedings for Weiss could extend into 2025 with potential five-year sentences, Harbaugh now coaches the Chargers, linking ongoing litigation to his NFL career.
