#Hackers deface school login pages after claiming another #Instructure hack

"On Tuesday, education tech giant Instructure disclosed a data breach where hackers stole students’ private information, including their names, personal email addresses, and messages sent between teachers and students.

Now, it appears hackers were able to compromise Instructure again — this time defacing several schools’ login pages to the company’s platform #Canvas, which allows schools to manage coursework and assignments and communicate with students.

The message says the hackers will publish the stolen data on May 12 if the company does not 'negotiate a settlement.' "

I Shouldn’t Be Sharing This Part 2: 37 Google Dork Patterns That Still Surface Exposed AWS Keys in 2026

This is where most people misunderstand exposure. They imagine breaches as events. Explosions. Headlines. In reality, it is persistence. Old artifacts that never got cleaned up. Strings of credentials that were never meant to be seen outside a build environment, now sitting in search indexes that never forget.
