Educational company Infrastructure reports cyber incident

Instructure, operator of the Canvas learning platform, suffered a cybersecurity incident allegedly claimed by the ShinyHunters group; the attackers reportedly stole 3.6 TB of data from over 9,000 schools including names, email addresses, student ID numbers, and user messages. Instructure says the incident was contained with remedial actions (revoked credentials, patches) and that no financial information or passwords were taken; the report places the breach in the context of ShinyHunters’ recent campaign targeting education and other high-profile organizations.
