Lean.mit.edu hacked and serving spam

Interested in Viagra, Cialis and some other “magical” medications? It seems that the MIT web site for the Lean Advancement Initiative (https://lean.mit.edu/ ) knows a bit about it:

Joking aside, they got hacked and are being used to serve a lot of SPAM. In fact, we were fixing a web site that had a lot of links to it:

original viagra bestellen 
original viagra rezeptfrei 
viagra droga generica 
..
viagra verpackung 
cialis filmtabletten 
viagra kaufen test 
viagra original preis 
günstig viagra

The script is also a bit clever, so if you visit it without any argument, it returns a 404 (try https://lean.mit.edu/blind/products/lesat/lesat.php ).
If you visit with an argument, it shows the spam: (try https://lean.mit.edu/blind/products/lesat/lesat.php?pills=bestellen-viagra )

The code being used is probably very similar to this one: https://blog.sucuri.net/2010/05/it-is-not-over-seo-spam-on-sites.html

If you know anyone at the MIT, let them know about it.
