The Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences website has been the subject of a hack. According to sources the entire content of the website has been made available on BitTorrent.
Currently there is a 125MB zip file being tracked by The Pirate Bay that claims to be a complete server backup of the site. The file being distributed on BitTorrent is said to contain a full server backup, full directory structure, site database, and password files.
I made several attempts to connect to the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences website and I can confirm that it does appears to still be offline as I speak.
