right, but he also hacked into personal social media accounts of hundreds of tsun athletes? if he was looking for practice videos from other teams i'm not sure why he'd scrape accounts of students in ann arbor, unless that was a kind of "side gig perversion".

Or....he offered up his services to hack into Ohio State and Ped State (and likely others) since he knew how or at least thought he did.

Chances are he used his main perversion of looking at people's personal pics/vids/etc and utilized the same or very similar methods to enhance the cheating scheme.

BTW there's no way this doesn't go all the way up to Harbaugh. This wasn't just one or two staffers doing it on their own, there was a pervasive and planned scheme from all sources.

The University of Michigan football program embarked on a multi-year cheating operation that involved paying operatives - including athletic department staffers, interns, and coaches' family members - to attend the games of future opponents in order to steal their playcalls. Members of UM coaching staff also gained unauthorized access to the video servers at OSU, PSU, and likely other institutions. One of their coaches also gained unauthorized access to thousands of personal and private iCloud and social media accounts belonging to collegiate athletes by hacking in through an athletic training portal.
As the kids say, they're cooked.

That was just a summarization of the thread they are on over there because someone asked. None of that is new.

Does anyone believe that Weiss alone had the technology or the ability to hack servers of Public Institutions with better than average security? What IF UofM coaches had the hacking software installed by UofM IT jock sniffers and then Weiss abused it? That would be the icing on the cake.

It's not nearly as hard as you think it is once you have the username or email address. That's why the athletic training site being accessed and farmed is such a huge deal.

Most everyone isn't using smartcards either, it's not like you have to be on some sort of VPN or network to access these things (huge oversight in my opinion), so it's usernames and passwords. Passwords are increasingly easy to hack. Password crackers are easy to obtain as well.

I really do think this is part of why Buckeyemail for life is ending. May be the "unspoken" reason, but I don't believe in coincidences.

This is what I need to believe. The program provided him with the software to hack practice footage and coach/player communications and then his pervy self used it to gratify his pervy obsessions.

I think the school have him access to the athletic service software and he had the skills to access and crack the user credential file - see Brohio's latest comment below. Knowing the names, email addresses, schools, and passwords for a huge population of student athletes made it relatively easy to gain access to social media accounts and email addresses due to reused password or easy to his slight variations. The school is on the hook for allowing him to install his own software on his computer to shield his network activity, but the athletic software company may be more exposed to liability.

A few of us have taken a look into Keffer/The Athletic Trainer System and it has been mind blowing to say the least. I don't want to sound alarmist or deal in hyperbole, but this is the sloppiest, worst protected and most vulnerable database you could possibly imagine. I'll leave it at that. This is bad bad. There is just no way in hell this company survives this. And it's still totally vulnerable as of right now. I can't believe this system made it past a university security assessment.

I don't think he would have gotten the passwords from the athletic training site....but like I said, crackers are easy to obtain and are usually very fast for most passwords. and since humans are creatures of habit and reuse things, you nailed it - easily repeatable/easily breakable.
