Preservation notice sent to Radford University in widening data leak case

Posted on April 11, 2025April 10, 2025 by Dissent

Thomas Mundy reports:

Attorneys have sent a preservation notice to Radford University leaders to preserve all relevant evidence regarding a possible data breach involving former students.

Former Michigan assistant football coach Matt Weiss has been federally indicted after prosecutors accused him of hacking into private accounts of student-athletes to access potentially compromising images.

“When it initially came out, we thought it was a local Michigan issue, and it is very quickly evolving into a national issue that will likely hit every state,” said Lisa Esser-Weidenfeller, an attorney involved in the case.

According to the indictment, Weiss hacked into the accounts of over 150,000 students.
