Instructure Canvas hack: Breach involved a specific account type

ShinyHunters reportedly breached Instructure’s Canvas platform twice, first claiming theft of data from millions of users.

The second incident exploited a Free for Teacher support-ticket vulnerability and triggered another outage during finals week.

The disruptions affected a widely used education platform and forced some schools to delay exams.

Schools and universities, including Seton Hall and Baylor, faced renewed concerns over student and staff data exposure.
