A massive cyberattack has hit Canvas, one of the world’s largest online learning platforms, disrupting schools and universities across multiple countries.
The hacking group “Shiny Hunters” claims to have stolen 3.5 terabytes of sensitive student data, including names, email addresses, student ID numbers, and private messages.
Around 275 million users may be affected.
The attack comes during exam season, forcing major universities like Harvard, Columbia, Penn State, and Georgetown to extend deadlines and reschedule exams as students lose access to coursework and assignments.
