Millions of students' data are in jeopardy as the US House Committee on Homeland Security launches an investigation into Instructure's Canvas platform. Two successive cyberattacks by the ShinyHunters group have triggered a high-stakes congressional inquiry.
Everyone expected Instructure, the folks behind Canvas, to either fight the hackers or admit defeat. Instead, they did something far more controversial: they paid. And that changes everything.
Ransomware gangs have found a new playground, and it's plastered all over college campuses. The latest victim? Canvas, the digital learning behemoth, now held hostage, turning finals week into a digital nightmare.
Instructure's edtech platforms are once again under siege. Hackers claim a second, massive data breach, putting millions of personal records in peril.
Everyone expected another data heist, but the Canvas breach signals something deeper: educational institutions are prime targets, and the attack vectors are disturbingly human.
A massive data breach targeting educational institutions has surfaced, with a hacker group claiming to have exfiltrated 280 million records. The alleged victims? Over 8,800 schools and universities.
The digital classroom just got a whole lot less secure. Edtech giant Instructure has confirmed a significant data breach, exposing personal information for an estimated 275 million individuals.
