🏫 The educational platform Canvas, used by thousands of schools and universities worldwide, fell victim to a major cyberattack right in the middle of exam season. The outcome: blocked access to courses, postponed exams and compromised personal data. The hackers from the ShinyHunters group claim to have stolen several terabytes of sensitive information, including student credentials and private messages exchanged between teachers and students.
💽 Beyond the technical incident, this attack shows just how vulnerable educational digital infrastructures have become. When a single platform centralises the courses, grades and administrative exchanges of millions of users, a single flaw can quickly paralyse an entire system. Above all, this event is a reminder that cybersecurity is no longer purely an IT matter, it is now a major issue for education and data protection.
