My kids are in the middle of their finals week. What a mess. Universities know nothing, Canvas claims to be in a "scheduled maintenance", and one Prof claims to "not have any copies of material offline" which seems pretty negligent. Sounds like one section of a popular class will be doing paper exams while other sections had Canvas-based "half points for 2nd attempt"-type exams earlier today. How soon before names & grades appear in data dumps?
This would be like TurboTax "scheduling maintenance" on April 14th in the US.
The "Scheduled Maintenance" is just total B.S. and just honestly makes them look worse. Apparently according to their status pages this is what 99.996% uptime looks like. Pay attention lol.
It has been over 5 hours now and there has not been any communication about this being an attack, despite many of us seeing the ShinyHunters message on the login page.
There is a lot of people who likely are unaware the latest outage is because they were compromised again.
Them marking the incident as 'Under Maintenance' means the status page isn't reporting this as an outage and adding to downtime%.
Once we hit 8h 45m SLA has been broken. https://uptime.is/99.9 https://www.instructure.com/trust-center/availability
Compromised again? This is a separate in ident to the one seen yesterday?

I was going to make a joke that they should have just taken a page from the military and said “Rapid Unscheduled Maintenance”, but I guess that’s actually the phrase for it.
Once again, an example of why corporations should not have free speech. Corporate statements that are transparent lies should be criminally actionable.
Crazy that kids data are getting leaked before they even had a chance to properly understand the consequences and consent to it being used
