## Описание

A hacker group called ShinyHunters breached Instructure (the company behind Canvas) right in the middle of finals week, exposing the data of 275 million students and teachers.

Because they accessed private messages and school emails, the biggest risk right now is highly targeted scams that look like they are coming from your school or classmates.

Protect yourself by:

 • Treating any “Canvas” or school-themed email as suspicious. Do not click links in emails about the breach, go directly to the official site instead.
 • Checking for active Canvas sessions and revoking any connected third-party apps or integrations you don’t recognize.
 • Changing your Canvas password immediately, especially if your school doesn’t use single sign-on.

If you're a student part of the Canvas hack, here's what you need to do right now to protect yourself. Hi, I'm Caitlin. I'm a cyber security data protection expert and I want to help you protect yourself from all the stuff that's going on with the Canvas hack. Let's go. A hacker group called Shiny Hunters breached infrastructure, which is a company that owns Canvas, and they claimed to have stolen the data of over 275 million students and teachers across 9,000 schools. They defaced login portals for hundreds of universities, demanded ransom, and threatened to leak billions of private messages if they didn't get paid by May 12th. So, what did they actually get? The company confirmed that they access names, student ID numbers, student email addresses, and private Canvas inbox messages between students and teachers. Now, what they didn't get are passwords or financial info. But because they have your messages and school emails, the biggest risk right now is highly targeted scams. So, here's what you need to do right now to protect yourself. PS, send this to your other friends and universities because this is so important. Number one, treat any Canvas or school themed email as suspicious. Do not click links and emails about the breach. Go directly to the official site. That is a big one. Number two, check for active Canvas sessions and revoke any connected thirdparty apps or integrations you don't recognize. And number three, even though passwords weren't confirmed stolen, change your Canvas passwords anyway, especially if your school doesn't use single sign on. If you're new to the cyber security page, you know that I post daily simple tips to keep you safe. Stay safe out there and be sure to follow along for all the cyber
