July 2, 2015 - "The school discovered a cyberintrusion in June. Last month Harvard University uncovered “an intrusion” on its computer networks, the school disclosed late Wednesday. The discovery, which was made June 19, affects two IT systems that impact eight colleges and administrations, the school says. These include the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Harvard Divinity School, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Central Administration, the Graduate School of Design, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, or Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Meanwhile, the Harvard Kennedy School as well as Harvard’s business, law, medicine, and dental schools, appear to be unaffected by the breach. Anyone associated with the first four groups listed above should change-the-password to their school network login, the university recommends. People affiliated with the next four groups should instead change-the-password, the school says, to their university email account, a service powered by Microsoft Exchange. Don’t expect that new passcode to last long though. The school notes that it will require a future password refresh as well: “Password changes will be required again at a later time as the University takes further steps to enhance security,” per a letter from Provost Alan Garber* and executive vice president Katie Lapp. Harvard’s administration says it is as yet uncertain about what data has been stolen..."
