In cases like this, I avoid the word #hacker, because to me, true #hackers are the good guys.

In the 1980s (and today), people who illegally copy software or media were called #pirates. To me, these people today, that break into systems & hijack them for ransom are committing true #piracy. I imagine them bringing their digital ships up alongside & boarding the victim.

The 1980s pirates are just #thieves.

#Canvas has been hijacked.

Attackers broke into #Instructure's systems & demanded a ransom to keep them from locking down the popular #LMS. Supposedly, Instructure applied security patches instead, which were ineffective against these criminals. Then the #pirates locked down the system & demand a ransom to not publicly release all the Canvas user organizations' data and unlock the system. #UMich is only one of the orgs using Canvas. There are many others.
