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.
