Ransomware Attack Disrupts Schools' Learning Platform; Student Records at Risk

A cyberattack on Canvas, the online classroom system used by nearly 9,000 schools worldwide, compromised billions of student messages and grades on May 1. The attackers, a group called ShinyHunters, claimed responsibility. Instructure, the company running Canvas, shut down systems briefly and reset security keys. The full extent of what data was stolen remains unclear, raising concerns about student privacy.
