Canvas, a widely used platform in higher education, is back online following a disruption caused by a ransomware attack. However, many schools are urging users to refrain from logging in as uncertainties surrounding data security remain.

Approximately half of North America's higher education institutions rely on Canvas for their online learning needs, making the implications of this breach particularly significant.

The ransomware group that has taken credit for the breach raises serious questions about the integrity of user data, leaving institutions and students alike concerned about potential vulnerabilities.
