#Cyberattack hits #Canvas system used by thousands of schools as #finals loom
By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH
Updated 11:19 PM EDT, May 7, 2026Excerpt: "Connolly said the Canvas attack is strikingly similar to a breach at #PowerSchool, which also offers learning management tools [#LMS]. In that case a Massachusetts college student was charged.
"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."

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."

#Hackers deface school login pages after claiming another #Instructure hack
by Lorenzo Franceschi-Bicchierai, Zack Whittaker
1:59 PM PDT · May 7, 2026"On Tuesday, education tech giant Instructure disclosed a data breach where hackers stole students’ private information, including their names, personal email addresses, and messages sent between teachers and students.
Now, it appears hackers were able to compromise Instructure again — this time defacing several schools’ login pages to the company’s platform #Canvas, which allows schools to manage coursework and assignments and communicate with students.
TechCrunch saw a message published by the cybercrime group #ShinyHunters on the Canvas login pages of three separate schools. A review of the defaced portals shows that the hackers injected an HTML file that altered the login screens to display their message.
The message says the hackers will publish the stolen data on May 12 if the company does not 'negotiate a settlement.' "
