#umich — Public Fediverse posts

#Canvas has been hijacked.

Attackers broke into #Instructure's systems & demanded a ransom to keep them from locking down the popular #LMS. Supposedly, Instructure applied security patches instead, which were ineffective against these criminals. Then the #pirates locked down the system & demand a ransom to not publicly release all the Canvas user organizations' data and unlock the system. #UMich is only one of the orgs using Canvas. There are many others.

“The greatness of this institution does not only rest on the shoulders and on the accomplishments of our student athletes, who deserve all the congratulations we can offer them,” Peterson said. “The greatness of this university rests also on the courage and the conviction of student activists who have pushed this university down the path towards justice.”
