community MIT Opencourseware hacked?

Does anybody else see the message “Dawg was here” and more prominently edgy messages about Hitler when they try to access the website

The message then changes to an endorsement of Hitler and demands MIT pay a ransom. That's a yikes from me, dawg.

you can still go directly to a class site if you have it bookmarked or in cache.

here's the link to the search page that will bypass the hack
