School's Out Forever for Canvas Data

The educational sector is currently learning a hard lesson as ShinyHunters threatens to leak the private messages and personal details of millions of students and teachers. Instructure, the parent company, has been handed a final warning to pay up or see 3.65 terabytes of data dumped onto the internet for everyone's viewing pleasure. Protecting your sanity involves assuming your private messages are now public record and perhaps reconsidering what we store in learning management systems. Schools should probably brace for the fallout while hoping the final warning is just a bluff.
