The majority of central Harvard websites and systems are fully operational, including the network, email, academic platforms, the Harvard.edu website, and the HarvardSites web platform.

Beginning at 4pm today, October 21st, the Department of Information Technology will proactively take down systems that are currently exposing an AI-discovered cybersecurity vulnerability.
At 4pm, Labpoint and any service using hsph.me will become unavailable.
There is impact across Harvard from this recently announced threat, so other services hosted outside of SPH may also be impacted.
As soon as fixes become available from vendors, they will be applied and services will resume normal functionality.
Please contact the IT Helpdesk at (617) 432-4357 or email helpdesk@hsph.harvard.edu with any questions or concerns you may have regarding this information.
