A major cybersecurity breach involving the online education platform Canvas is raising concerns for schools and colleges across Central Florida.

Millions of students and teachers worldwide use Canvas for assignments, grades, messaging, and virtual coursework. Now, school officials say hackers have gained unauthorized access to parts of the system.

What educational information would people care about being leaked other than SSNs?

I dont care about people seeing the grade on my chemistry test

Pretty sure Canvas is grading and assignment software. I don't think it has anything to do with payroll.
Maybe I misunderstood your comment, though.

Guess that's what they meant when they said, School's Out.

My dumb arse read the header and was trying to figure out what “Shin Yhun” had to do with any of this.

Then I realized it’s “Shen Yun” and I’m just an idiot.

I finished grading finals at like 4:00 today and when I went to post them, this bs was going on.

What’s crazier is that the university is now telling us to have alternate methods for keeping grades after pushing for years to have all grades be kept in Canvas…

On the one hand this sucks for schools and kids trying to have final exams. On the other frick Canvas, if you’ve ever used it, you know how non-user friendly it is.

After using Google for 7 years, this is my first experience with Canvas. Bring me back to Google.
