Hackers deface school login pages after claiming another Instructure hack
The cybercrime group ShinyHunters claimed to have hacked Instructure again, defacing the login pages of several Instructure customer schools with an extortion message.
TL;DR
- Hackers defaced the login pages of several schools using Instructure's Canvas platform.
- The cybercrime group ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the login page defacement.
- A message on the defaced pages demands a settlement by May 12, threatening to release stolen data.
- This appears to be a second, separate breach following an earlier Instructure data hack.
- The earlier hack allegedly compromised data from nearly 9,000 schools, affecting 231 million people.
