Harvard University recently
announced that on June 19, 2015, it discovered an intrusion into the IT networks of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and Central Administration.
"Since discovering this intrusion, Harvard has been working with external information security experts and federal law enforcement to investigate the incident, protect the information stored on our systems, and strengthen IT environments across the University," university provost Alan Garber and executive vice president Katie Lapp said in a
statement.
"At this time, we have no indication that personal data, research data, or PIN System credentials have been exposed," Garber and Lapp added. "It is possible that Harvard login credentials (username and password) used to access individual computers and University email accounts have been exposed."
Anyone who's part of the
Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the
Harvard Divinity School, the
Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, or the Central Administration is advised to change the password associated with their Harvard account.
