Hacks -- just pranks to those of us who didn't go to MIT -- are a regular occurrence at the prestigious Cambridge university. They've included a campus police cruiser being lifted to the roof, a giant Tetris game projected onto a building and even an alleged attempt to detonate the letters MIT into the Harvard Stadium football field.
The pranks are largely harmless and even take care to not do any lasting damage to buildings on MIT's campus or other schools' campuses. However, according to The Tech, one recent graduate slipped and fell to his death while attempting a hack in 2017.
