Chicago Sun-Times - All | U. of I. reschedules finals after learning platform Canvas reaches deal with hackers by AP AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The University of Illinois Urbana‑Champaign postponed its final exams from Friday to Sunday (Mother’s Day) after the Canvas learning platform’s owner, Instructure, announced it had reached an agreement with the hackers who breached the system. Instructure temporarily shut down Canvas for investigation, locking out students and faculty, and later claimed the attackers deleted the stolen data and “shred logs” confirmed the erasure, though no guarantee was given that all copies were eliminated. The breach exposed student IDs, names, emails and messages, but not passwords or financial information. The university warned of heightened phishing risks and said the rescheduling, though imperfect, was the best of several problematic options.

BBC News | Canvas hack: Company pays criminals to delete students' stolen data AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The makers of Canvas, the learning‑management platform used by thousands of universities, confirmed that after a massive hack—affecting roughly 9,000 institutions in the US, Canada, Australia and the UK and disrupting exams—they reached an agreement with the extortion group Shiny Hunters, who claimed to have stolen 3.5 TB of student and university data. Instructure says the hackers deleted the data, provided digital confirmation of its destruction, and promised no further extortion of its customers, although the exact terms and any payment remain undisclosed. While paying cyber‑criminals is generally discouraged because it can encourage more attacks and offers no guarantee the data is truly gone, Instructure emphasized protecting students and staff as its primary motive and highlighted its transparency in updating the public throughout the incident, which also saw ransom notes appear on students’ screens during exams and caused significant disruption to coursework.
