    Canvas cybersecurity breach

    Reference material reports that Canvas experienced a cyberattack in late April 2026, followed by an outage and another intrusion in early May. Instructure reportedly identified exposure involving names, email addresses, student identification numbers, and user messages, while stating that it had found no evidence of compromised passwords, birth dates, government identifiers, or financial information. ShinyHunters reportedly claimed responsibility for a later ransomware message and threatened to release data. Multiple federal lawsuits and a proposed California class action were subsequently reported.
