The University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University, B.C.'s two biggest universities by student enrolment, say a cyber breach of the Canvas learning software could affect students' personal information.
Contents of my bag after a heavy semester. This is archaeology going on, here.
The same hacker group was able to break back into #Canvas / #Instructure a second time last night, and display a ransom note to all schools, explaining Instructure isn't negotiating but they still have time to negotiate and pay a ransom for THEIR school's data.
The timing on this couldn't be worse for higher education either. This is finals week for a number of universities in this region, graduations are happening at a number of schools, final grades are coming due. Etc, etc.
This shit is fascinating, and Instructure is going to have to perform one hell of a mea culpa after all of this.
Again relieved I stopped being a Canvas admin four years ago. #HigherEducation #HigherEd

It’s time Canada starts building its own sovereign tech software. From operating systems to text editors. Education CMS’s to mobile apps.
Trump and AI needs to mark the end of American domination of all things computer software.
That needs to start at colleges and universities.
