  1. Where do we predict to see the inertia of big-tech compliant neoliberal #highered LMS movement in the wake of the #canvas breach? #academicchatter

    No, Sakai and other FOSS alternatives are not an option. Read the first part again.

  2. Instructure has reached an agreement with the #ShinyHunters group to return and destroy stolen Canvas data, protecting millions of student records worldwide from being publicly leaked.

    A recent article published by DataBreaches.net by journalist Dissent addresses one of the most controversial issues in modern cybersecurity: the payment of ransoms following a cyberattack and the consequences such decisions can have not only on the companies involved, but also on the individuals whose data has been compromised.

  4. Edtech firm Instructure has reached an agreement with cybercrime group #shinyhunters which hacked its Canvas learning platform.

    Extortion-as-a-service continues to pay dividends.

    Tough decision but paying up keeps the tap running.

    Het Amerikaanse bedrijf achter onderwijsplatform Canvas heeft een akkoord gesloten met de hackers van ShinyHunters. De vorige week gestolen data is teruggegeven en alle data die de hackers wisten te ontfutselen door hen vernietigd is. Het bedrijf meldt niet of en zo ja...

  13. When asked for a comment, a spokesperson for Anthology, the parent company of Canvas competitor Blackboard, (probably would have) said "Well, Well, Well, it's not So easy To Find A Learning Management System that doesn't suck shit, now is it?"

  15. Restablecen el sistema Canvas tras un ciberataque global que afectó a miles de instituciones

    Decenas de miles de estudiantes recuperaron el acceso a la plataforma de aprendizaje Canvas luego de que un ataque del grupo ShinyHunters interrumpiera las actividades en 9,000 escuelas y universidades en plena temporada de exámenes finales (Fuente SecurityWeek).

    La plataforma Canvas, propiedad de Instructure, ha vuelto a estar operativa tras sufrir uno de los mayores ciberataques registrados en el sector educativo. El incidente, que comenzó a detectarse a finales de abril pero escaló drásticamente el 7 de mayo, obligó a la compañía a desconectar el sistema a nivel mundial para contener una intrusión que permitió a los atacantes alterar las páginas de inicio de los usuarios con mensajes de extorsión y amenazas de filtración de datos.

    Según las investigaciones, el grupo de hacking ShinyHunters explotó una vulnerabilidad vinculada a las cuentas de tipo «Free-For-Teacher» para acceder a unos 3.6 terabytes de información. Los datos comprometidos incluyen nombres, correos electrónicos, números de identificación estudiantil y millones de mensajes privados entre alumnos y profesores. Aunque Instructure asegura que no hay pruebas de que contraseñas o datos financieros hayan sido robados, instituciones de renombre —incluyendo todas las de la Ivy League y universidades en Canadá, Europa y Australia— han emitido alertas ante el riesgo de campañas de phishing altamente dirigidas que utilicen el contexto académico real de los usuarios.

    El impacto del apagón fue crítico, coincidiendo con el cierre de semestre y exámenes finales en Estados Unidos y otras regiones, lo que forzó a reprogramar evaluaciones y extender plazos de entrega. Aunque el servicio se ha restablecido para la mayoría, el grupo atacante ha fijado el 12 de mayo como fecha límite para el pago de un rescate antes de filtrar la información robada, manteniendo en vilo a la comunidad educativa global sobre la privacidad de sus registros personales.

  16. Hello #parents — I imagine most of you have received some kind of communication from your kids' schools about the #Instructure / #Canvas data breach. I'm collecting examples of how schools have communicated the issue to parents and students (and *if* they've communicated directly to students).

    Shoot me an email if you have anything you could share: [email protected]

  17. ShinyHunters reportedly defaced Canvas login portals at about 330 schools after another breach of Instructure systems, demanding ransom payments before May 12 🎓

  19. #HighSchool #graduation today. Went well, good to see families and some older siblings who graduated years ago.

    #AdultESOL (#AdultESL) class had #writing test today. Need to grade that tonight.

    #CyberSecurity class has 3 assignments due by tonight, but professor said don't worry --- party he is also really busy and won't have time to grade, and partly because we were down for a bit due to the #Canvas #ransomware.

    Last week of high school next week. Then summer #ProfessionalDevelopment time.

  21. I trained on and became among the earliest users of #WebCT in 2000, teaching fully online in 2001 and 2002. It is now called #Canvas, which is one of the largest and most notable hacks of all time, effected by #shinyhunters. #UCSD uses it, and I presume classes will resume, say by email and in person. In recent years I had dumped Canvas except for one huge lecture with TAs where the gradebook was really useful. Not using it this quarter at all, lucky me. Returning to a printed syllabus in future
