The latest plaintiff, Jane Doe, alleges Weiss accessed her private health information, leading to broader identity theft. Weiss is federally indicted, facing multiple counts for purportedly breaching the privacy of thousands of student athletes from 2015 to 2023, reportedly affecting over 100 universities. The lawsuit seeks $5 million in damages and is open for other victims to join, indicating the scope of this alarming cyber crime.
