Canvas experienced a widespread service disruption that affected user logins and access to course content.
According to Instructure:
“On May 7, an unauthorized actor made changes to the pages that appeared when some students and teachers were logged in. We quickly identified this unauthorized activity and immediately took steps to contain it, including temporarily taking Canvas offline into maintenance mode as a precaution. Working with an independent forensics partner, we have found no evidence that the actor established persistence, obtained credentials, or exfiltrated data.”
