Dissent responded harshly to these accusations, firmly rejecting any insinuation of collusion with criminal groups. The journalist pointed out that every time she asks for evidence to support certain claims, she is labeled “criminal-friendly” or accused of being a mouthpiece for cybercriminals, simply for refusing to uncritically accept statements lacking public verification.

NEW by me:
Another detail emerges about Instructure's agreement with ShinyHunters; Debate continues about whether to pay:
Cybersecurity experts make claims about ShinyHunters to journalists, but where is the evidence to support their claims? Journalists shouldn't just quote experts -- ask them the basis for their claims. How much evidence do they actually have to support their assertions?

Canvas Data Breach
#Instructure, the US education technology company behind the #Canvas learning platform, has confirmed a major data breach affecting its cloud-hosted environment. Exposed data reportedly includes student and staff records and private messages, while #ShinyHunters escalated the attack by defacing hundreds of school login portals with ransom messages.

Hackers Exploit Canvas Flaw to Deface Instructure Portals
In a shocking breach, hackers exploited a flaw in Canvas to infiltrate Instructure portals, making off with a staggering 3.6 terabytes of data and putting 8,809 educational organizations at risk. The attackers, known as ShinyHunters, claimed to have stolen 275 million records in a brazen heist.

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.

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]

If anyone is bored this weekend - and wants to help the edu sector out in the wake of the Canvas LMS attacks - take a gander at the recently implemented and forthcoming security patches in Canvas LMS and see what you might glean. Instructure - the company that was attacked - has provided scant technical details on how initial access and exfil happened - and as a result customers (schools and universities) are left unsure as to how to trust the software or what mitigations to put in place.
Instructure has said the attack was "carried out...by exploiting an issue related to our Free-For-Teacher accounts" https://www.instructure.com/incident_update
Precautionary UX changes made by Instructure in response https://community.instructure.com/en/discussion/666044/incident-change-log-for-may-2026
Instructure Enforcements, Deprecations, and Breaking Changes (which contain some upcoming security related changes): https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/664261-instructure-enforcements-deprecations-and-breaking-changes
May be other threads to pull; this is being actively worked on by many.
Thank you!

ShinyHunters Breach Disrupts Canvas Education Platform Nationwide
A massive cyberattack by ShinyHunters has disrupted the Canvas Education Platform nationwide, with hackers defacing login pages and holding sensitive data on 275 million students and faculty hostage. The breach forced Instructure to pull Canvas offline, leaving students and faculty in the dark.

“Instructure said Wednesday that Canvas was fully operational… on Friday, the company discovered that the "unauthorized actor" … made changes to the pages that appeared when some students and teachers were logged in… immediately took Canvas offline… Canvas is now fully back online”.
Except #Canvas at #UofT is actually “unavailable until further notice” 🤷🏼♂️

#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."

'The Biggest Student Data Privacy Disaster in History': Canvas Hack Shows the Danger of Centralized EdTech
-
An email sent to students by one college impacted by the Canvas outage claims the college's Office of Information Technology took down their Canvas instance yesterday "as a security precaution".
Students and teachers at some locations are able to access Canvas, but one professor told me Canvas at their campus is still offline.
Pro-Iran group 313 Team claimed responsibility for the attack yesterday, though in statements to the press, Canvas owner Instructure has said they took down Canvas in response to an earlier compromise by Shiny Hunters.
The actual cause of the outage remains unclear, with both sides offering conflicting statements.

A massive ShinyHunters attack has compromised Canvas login portals for 15,000 institutions, including top universities like Harvard and Oxford, exfiltrating 3.65 terabytes of student and faculty data. This incident, alongside a concurrent supply chain attack on Vimeo, exposes critical flaws in EdTech security and third-party vendor trust, raising urgent questions about data protection.

New, from me: Canvas Breach Disrupts Schools and Colleges Nationwide
"An ongoing data extortion attack targeting the widely-used education technology platform Canvas disrupted classes and coursework at school districts and universities across the United States today, after a cybercrime group defaced the service’s login page with a ransom demand that threatened to leak data from 275 million students and faculty across nearly 9,000 educational institutions."
"Canvas parent firm Instructure responded to today's defacement attacks by disabling the platform, which is used by thousands of schools, universities and businesses to manage coursework and assignments, and to communicate with students."

ShinyHunters claims data theft from 8,800 schools (Instructure/Canvas)
#HackerNews #ShinyHunters #DataTheft #Schools #Instructure #Canvas #Cybersecurity #EducationSecurity

I've seen questions about the #instructure #canvas leak, to the effect of "why's the data so dangerous if there's nothing financial in it?"
There are identifiers, for one thing.
But I think the real threat is... look, students send instructors some really heavy and confidential stuff in Canvas messaging sometimes. Identity stuff. Health stuff. Family stuff. Relationship stuff. Even crime stuff.
I really am relieved that I direct students to email. I feel horrible for what could happen.
