- treskot 14y agoThank you for sharing the original text. The page on mit seems to be offline now.
- franklinho 14y agoHere's the post: https://twitter.com/AnonymousIRC/status/290704903431655424 https://twitter.com/AnonymousIRC/status/290704903431655424. Note that the URL is this: rledev.mit.edu/aaron.html That's actually a subdomain. From what it looks like someone (maybe a MIT student) came up with the subdomain and posted the site there. I doubt there was any hacking going on.
- hkmurakami 14y agohttp://cogen.mit.edu/ http://cogen.mit.edu/ was also hacked, and this is a MIT official page.
- frozenport 14y agoI needed to use an MIT website for some research and I wasn't too happy when it was down. As nobody has, I would like to voice my disapproval.

- atas 14y agoIn the literal sense of the word, the exact opposite.
- general_failure 14y agoGreat idea to deface an entire institution for the acts of a few. Thanks anonymous for helping us understand why cyber laws are as harsh as they are. I read all over that MIT is actually open and the systems are begging to be hacked. So, I don't see how this shows you in any good light.
