Greetings:
May I first say that I did my best to see that this letter
got sent to the appropriate individuals. I had some difficulty
determining who those individuals may be, so if I have made an
error, I would greatly appreciate it if you would forward this
letter on to the appropriate individual(s).
My name is John Vranesevich, and I am the Founder and General
Partner of AntiOnline LLP, a computer security company based
outside of Pittsburgh, PA.
Earlier today, one of my colleagues forwarded me the following
URL:
http://packetstorm.harvard.edu/jp/
Needless to say, I was shocked and outraged at what I saw.
This page contains a large archive of libelous and, to put it
bluntly, sick material. Everything from archives of copyrighted
material from our website, to altered pictures of my family,
to 'stories' about me which contain images ranging from people
engaged in homosexual activities, to a nun that appears to be
covered in seminal fluid.
I am astounded that an institution as prestigious as Harvard
would be party to the dissemination of this type of material.
It is my hope that the University Administration was unaware
of this site, and now that it has been brought to their attention,
it is my hope that it will be dealt with promptly.
I have worked to help several educational institutions develop
'Acceptable Use Policies', and if Harvard is similar to them,
the above URL would be a clear violation of that policy.
It is my hope that the above mentioned domain will be shut
down immediately, and that the individual responsible will be
seriously reprimanded.
I hope to hear from you soon about this matter, and what you
may have done regarding it.
Yours In CyberSpace,
John Vranesevich
Founder, AntiOnline
