December 16, 2013 Harvard Science Center Bomb Scare Four buildings at Harvard University were evacuated and morning final exams were canceled Monday after the school said it had "unconfirmed" reports of explosives. Eldo Kim, a Harvard sophomore was charged in relation to the threat and could face a maximum five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine under bomb hoax laws. Kim used an application to generate an anonymous IP address that is difficult for law enforcement to trace, but authorities established he had used Harvard networks to access the service. Kim told authorities he was “motivated by a desire to avoid a final exam." In May an envelope with white powder was sent to anti-semitism opponent professor Alan Dershowitz and Harvard Law school was evacuated. In April the Kennedy School was evacuated amid reports of unconfirmed bomb threats in city. In May 2, 2008, Harvard Square was closed when three manholes exploded and burned. In February 2000 A phoned-in bomb threat followed by a strange smell forced two separate evacuations of a building at the Harvard Extension School.
It was the latest in a series of security scares at U.S. schools and universities. Three days ago a Colorado high school student intent on confronting a teacher opened fire at his school, severely wounding a classmate before killing himself.

And In the Least Shocking News Ever: Police Arrest An Asian Kid From Harvard For Calling In the Fake Bomb Threat To Get Out of Finals Barstool Sports: Boston
BOSTON (CBS) — A Harvard student has been charged in connection with Monday’s bomb threats which shut down four HarRead more at boston.barstoolsports.com

Kim lived as a freshman last academic year in Thayer Hall, one of the four buildings he is charged with threatening to target. He also has an older sister who serves as a proctor in Weld Hall, according to a former Weld resident.
“I find it very shocking that he would actually do this,” said Edward Cho ’16, who lived in Thayer with Kim last year.
Kim is not listed on the Harvard College Facebook or the University’s online directory. His entry in the freshman register for the Class of 2016 says he hails from Seoul, South Korea, and attended Kamiak High School in Mukilteo, Wash. On the website of Harvard’s Institute for Quantitative Social Science, aprofile of Kim from last academic year described him as a prospective psychology concentrator, while a cached version of Kim’s taken-down LinkedIn profile identifies him as a psychology and sociology concentrator. The Crimson could not immediately confirm Kim’s concentration.
Friends and acquaintances, as well as online records, indicate that Kim was involved in a variety of campus activities, ranging from research to student media publications.
Kim’s taken-down LinkedIn profile lists him as research assistant at the University’s inter-school Behavioral Insights Group Research Lab, a community teaching assistant for the HarvardX course CB22x: “The Ancient Greek Hero,” and a research scholar at the IQSS. The profile also lists Eleganza, the Harvard Independent, and the Harvard International Review as campus organizations in which he has been involved.
Vivian E. Lee ’14, an executive producer for Eleganza, wrote in an email Tuesday evening that Kim was involved with Eleganza’s fashion committee. Lee wrote that she “only knew him in the context of Eleganza” but that she “knew him as quiet but very sweet.”
“He always took the time to say hi in the dining hall and had some great ideas to contribute for the show,” Lee wrote. “Given my opinion of him, it was quite a shock to find out that he was responsible for the bomb hoax.”
Kim is listed as a senior staff writer on the staff box of the Independent’s Sept. 19 issue. Angela Y. Song ’14, the Independent’s president, confirmed in a phone interview Tuesday evening that Kim was a writer for the publication.
Christine R. Wolfe ’14, the Independent’s outgoing editor-in-chief, said in a phone interview Tuesday that few if any on the paper’s staff knew Kim well. Kim came to meetings infrequently, she said, “but when he did come, he was nice.”

Harvard College sophomore and Quincy House resident Eldo Kim, 20, has been charged in connection with Monday’sunfounded bomb threat against four buildings on Harvard’s campus and will appear in U.S. District Court for a preliminary hearing Wednesday morning. 
Eldo Kim, a Harvard sophomore, has been charged in relation to Monday’s unfounded bomb threat on Harvard’s campus.
Kim could face a maximum five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine if charged under the bomb hoax statute
Cover story: Kim told authorities he was “motivated by a desire to avoid a final exam scheduled to be held on [Monday].”
emails were sent using Guerrilla Mail, a free online application that generates temporary anonymous email addresses. Additionally, Kim used a free application called TOR, which generates a random anonymous IP address for temporary use that is difficult for law enforcement to trace.
According to the affidavit, authorities were able to determine that Kim had accessed TOR on the Harvard network before sending the email.
