Hacking: Its now Harvard’s turn

Written by Pavan Kumar in Tuesday, February 19th 2008 under Uncategorized

Hackers, the intelligent thieves on the internet have hacked the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences website. The website is around 125mb in size and has been made available for download as a torrent through The Pirate Bay. The site is currently down now!

The server is administered by Thomas Gatton. The hackers said in their torrent release that the very insecure protection to the website provoked them to hack the site.

The following lines are the release notes provided by the hackers:
