Harvard Law National Security Journal Hacked, Abused to Promote Rogue Pharmacies

The website of the Harvard Law School National Security Journal (harvardnsj.org) has been compromised. The attackers are abusing the site to promote various rogue pharmacies.
Privacy researcher and activist Christopher Soghoian is the one who first realized that the website of the National Security Journal had been hacked. Soghoian said he alerted Harvard of the breach last month. However, the site still hasn’t been cleaned up.
The expert has published a screenshot of the website with Java script turned off. The image shows that hidden links pointing to Canadian pharmacy websites have been inserted into almost every sentence in Volume 5, Issue 1 of the Harvard National Security Journal.
By injecting the links into the Harvard Journal’s website, the hackers are optimizing their sites by creating backlinks to them. This is a common Black Hat SEO tactic.
The source code shows that the spammers are trying to promote dozens of domains containing words like “Viagra” or “Cialis.”
A Google search shows that the same links that have been injected into harvardnsj.org can be found in at least 300 other websites.
