US lawmakers demand explanations from Instructure after repeated Canvas breaches

Colleagues, take note: Congress has summoned Instructure to explain repeated hacks of the Canvas platform.

- House committee demands CEO testimony and is probing what data were stolen; CISA is involved in the investigation.
- Hackers (ShinyHunters) claim data were deleted after an “agreement,” but lack of transparency casts doubt.
- Key questions for the company: school notifications, adequacy of incident response, and coordination with regulators.

Why it matters: repeated breaches erode trust in EdTech and demand urgent measures to protect data.

What immediate steps should vendors and institutions take?
