The Canvas instance at the nearby university is now down (May 7, 4 PM Eastern), but was briefly displaying the message in this screenshot (1). The ransom message implies that today's problem is the second wave in an attack on Instructure after ignoring their first breach in recent days.
I use Canvas for some postgraduate studies, and my teenage daughter uses it at her high school.
We already bond over how awful the Canvas UX is (and she has a bunch of Chrome extensions to improve it.) Now we’ve got something else to gripe over together.
