Identified
HUIT is responding to a recently identified security vulnerability affecting software used across the internet. This is a global software vulnerability and not specific to Harvard.
Out of an abundance of caution, some University websites and systems may be unavailable as patches are applied. We will post further updates on status.huit.harvard.edu.
