So a few weeks ago, someone posted a hack in a posting board for Business School applicants to check ahead on the status of their applications. Several hundred antsy business student wannabes checked, and now Harvard says that anyone who checked on the status of the Harvard Business School application will not be accepted. Apparently they have about 119 people whose applications will now be turned down.
There are several other business schools who use the same on-line application system, and Carnigie Mellon has said that they will also deny admittance to anyone who hacked into the system. Duke, MIT, Stanford and Dartmouth haven't announced what they're going to do.
Apparently, the "hack" is something a 7-year-old or, worse, any one of us could do.
