Episode Details

Mizzou’s Canvas platform suffered a major cyberattack by ShinyHunters, disrupting services for students and affecting nearly 9,000 schools worldwide. Though the system was restored by Friday morning, key features like Honorlock remain offline, and users are urged to reset passwords and beware of phishing scams. Hackers are demanding payment from Canvas’s parent company, Instructure, by May 12—or risk leaking sensitive student data including personal info and submitted work. While Instructure says Canvas itself is secure, instructors are advised to back up gradebooks and prepare contingency plans for finals. Stay alert—this isn’t over.
