"Agreement:" reached in ShinyHunter's breach of Infrastructure's Canvas LMS .... the cybercrime gang returned the stolen data (which includes usernames, email addresses, course names, enrollment information, and messages) and provided shred logs confirming its destruction.
While not confirmed, it looks like a ransom payment was made. A webinar on May 13 may provide more details. https://www.instructure.com/incident_update #Breach #Hackers #ShinyHunters #Infrastructure #CanvasLMS #LMS #StudentData #DataPrivacy #Ransom #RansomWare #CyberCrime

"Connolly described #ShinyHunters as a loose affiliation of teenagers and young adults based in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. The group also has been tied to a other attacks, including one aimed at #LiveNation’s #Ticketmaster subsidiary."

😂 Oh no, not the beloved Canvas LMS! How will students survive without their daily dose of glitchy course content and relentless notifications? Meanwhile, the #ransomware attackers are probably begging to give it back after realizing the code is as organized as a toddler's crayon drawing. 🙈💾

While researching #EinsteinAI, I discovered that different #LearningManagementSystems (#LMS) allowed EinsteinAI, while others did not. #CanvasLMS was one of the ones who allowed Einstein and bunch of other #AIAgents. No wonder they got #hacked! It sounds like everybody had a key to get in!
Einstein AI by Companion.AI: Automating Homework on #Canvas Raises #AcademicIntegrity Concerns
A “student-in-a-box” agent arrives—what Einstein signals about the next phase of AI automation
By Juan Martinez, Feb 25, 2026
"Companion.AI’s newly unveiled 'Einstein' agent is not merely another #GenerativeAI assistant; it is a pointed demonstration of how quickly the market is moving from chat-based help to autonomous, persistent agents capable of completing entire workflows end-to-end. By interfacing directly with the Canvas #LearningManagementSystem (LMS), Einstein is positioned to log into student accounts, ingest course materials, participate in discussion threads, draft assignments, and submit finished work—effectively compressing the student’s academic workflow into a 'set it and forget it' automation layer."
