Hackers Sat Inside Canvas for Weeks. 275M Users Exposed.

On April 29th Instructure detected unauthorized access inside Canvas LMS. They said it was contained. Eight days later the same attacker was back, modifying login pages across thousands of institutions. Canvas went offline globally during peak exam season.

275 million users. 9,000 schools. Harvard. MIT. Oxford. Rutgers. K through 12 districts across the country. Institutions in Australia and the EU.

I break down the full timeline, the entry point, why this was ShinyHunters' second breach of Instructure in eight months, what the ransom agreement actually means, and five steps every affected student, faculty member, and administrator should take right now.

If your data was exposed: check haveibeenpwned.com with your institutional email, enable MFA on every account using an authenticator app not SMS, do not click Canvas related links in email and go directly to your institution's Canvas URL, change your Canvas password especially if reused elsewhere, and contact your institution's IT team to ask if your organization is on the disclosed list.
