While The Pirate Bay, itself, is not involved in any crime (which is really the only reason that groups like the RIAA haven't been able to get a conviction on any of the administrators just yet), it certainly is a host to all manner of evil. Most recently, the torrent tracker found a 125MB zip file, which turns out to be the backup from the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences website. The torrent was actually seeded from a Harvard-based IP address, and carries all manner of information, passwords, and files. The .NFO file, in broken English, reads as follows:

Maybe you don't like it but this is to demonstrate that persons like tgatton(admin of the server) in they don't know how to secure a website.

This is the first security breach since 2005. Harvard is currently working on patching the breach, and at this point, the main website that was hacked is down.
