Instructure Breach: ShinyHunters Claims Student Data Leak

Colleagues, please note: Instructure (Canvas) was breached.

- ShinyHunters claims leaks of student names, personal emails and messages; Instructure confirms similar disclosures.
- Hackers published a list of ~9,000 schools and claim hundreds of millions of records, though figures may be inflated; TechCrunch obtained samples from two schools.
- Instructure is issuing updates and has partly restored services; the company has not answered all press queries.

Why it matters: personal data exposure increases phishing, reputational and regulatory risks.
