Instructure, the company behind Canvas learning platform, successfully recovered stolen data from a cyber attack by hackers, ShinyHunters. The data, belonging to nearly 9,000 schools and 275 million users, was wiped out after negotiations. The platform was temporarily offline, causing disruption during finals. Despite the breach, no sensitive data like passwords or financial details were compromised. Instructure is now working with security experts to strengthen defenses and review exposed data.
