The EdTech Supply Chain Collapse: Inside the PowerSchool and Canvas Breaches
Description
Between 2024 and 2026, the educational technology sector suffered a catastrophic supply chain collapse as hackers compromised roughly 350 million records through major platforms like PowerSchool and Canvas. By exploiting weak trust boundaries in shared multi-tenant architectures, threat actors such as the ShinyHunters group moved beyond targeting individual schools to attacking the centralized vendors that thousands of institutions rely on. As a result, schools are left bearing the intense legal and regulatory burdens of notifying their communities, while criminals weaponize both structured identity data and private behavioral context for long-term fraud and extortion.
