A significant cyberattack has compromised the Canvas online learning platform, affecting nearly 9,000 schools and millions of students across the United States. The incident has led to major disruptions, including the postponement of final exams at several universities, such as the University of Illinois and Massachusetts colleges. Hackers reportedly stole personal data from over 275 million users and threatened to leak the information unless a ransom is paid. Affected institutions, including Duke University, the University of Texas, and educational organizations in California and Florida, are scrambling to manage the fallout from this breach. Instructure, the parent company of Canvas, has confirmed the breach and is currently investigating the impact while providing updates on the status of the platform.
