MIT Exposed Hosting Child Porn Guides

Posted on January 25, 2013 by Lee J

mit_logo MIT, one of the worlds most well known technology University’s has been exposed as hosting a self titled guide to child porn. I got alerted to this from @PrOtOn_An0n who sent me in the direction of a set of leaked emails from MIT that are hosted on foileaks.org  by @FOILeaks. In that is a short detailed message which talks about child porn/kiddie porn.

A few days ago, whilst browsing the MIT servers for fun we found an extremely disturbing email backup or draft on their servers which goes in-depth into the subject of "KIDDIE-PORN" and literally states "A guide to child pornography". The entire email is about child pornography and where to find it. It was not on a subdomain, it was not on an MIT user’s folder, it was located in a random folder on their main domain. Disturbing, to say the least. Here is an excerpt from said email: "The point is: if you look hard enough, YOU WILL FIND IT! Trust me! I’ve spent the last few years of my life doing little else except looking for it. (Okay, so I do a Mass once in a while. But then it’s back to the old uudecode program for me!) (BTW, if anyone wants to see all the KIDDIE-PORN I’ve accumulated, email me and I’ll send you a few megabytes. I’ll need proof that you’re over 45 years old, that you go to confession regularly) " We feel it’s our right to teach them a lesson. So here we have it, a huge amount of Emails sent/received from MIT.

After reading that and viewing all the files linked on the same page i was unable to find any further proof of this. After digging a bit deeper i have now been able to confirm that there is still live hosted versions of the said kiddie porn guides on MIT servers. In the email is a 5 part guide which explains the what, why, where, how to on child porn and even offers to share over 45gig of obtained data. IT also goes on to state the person is working 24/7 to obtain these files and images and what is even more scary about the whole thing is all the talk about church related things like pastors and priests and is written by a person calling themselves FATHER. In the replies to the email appears to be people who are irritated at receiving the emails about child porn and are voicing it very well but its any wonder why they have no taken any further steps to contact authorities or maybe they did as it is all dated back to 1995. So once again MIT is in shit and i have seen it for my own eyes. I do not want to and will not ever publish or link to something like this so don’t even bother asking why. I have personally contacted MIT via 20 different departments asking the said documents to be removed, awaiting an response from them at time of publishing.
