Instructure falls victim to ransomware attack

Instructure, the platform who host Canvas have been hacked and are being held for ransom.

This affects students in schools, colleges and universities globally.

Data stolen includes: names, email addresses, student ID numbers, and private messages.

Personally I highly doubt they will pay the ransom, maybe some individual institutions will but Instructure probably won't. Very poor form to have a failed public patch resulting in a full system takeover. Will be interesting to see if institutions stick with Canvas after this shitshow.
Hmmmm I find it very amusing that the hackers genuinely added the figurine chopper in the ransom note! Lol 🔐🤗🙈
