A major cybersecurity incident this week has exposed the personal information of millions of students nationwide after hackers targeted Canvas, a popular educational management platform used by schools and universities across America.
The cyberattack brought down the widely-adopted classroom software system, which serves as a digital hub for coursework, grades, and student communications at educational institutions throughout the United States.
Both higher education institutions and elementary through high school districts that depend on the Canvas platform were affected by the data breach, leaving student records vulnerable to unauthorized access.
