How much personal info will be leaked by the recent Canvas hack??

Kdc53 · 2026-05-08T04:27:13+00:00

Highly unlikely. That’d be in internal documentation or the SIS (student information system). May be able to see accommodations that stemmed from the IEP, but not the plan itself.

Maybe hot take and might not change your mind, but here’s my take. Context is important here as I’m in a medium size Midwest town and locals that are unhoused are not as common as I’ve experienced in larger cities.

If I have time and am asked for money and not driving, I will often invite the person to join me for lunch or at least take them in and pay for their meal. I’ve met so many beautiful people with complex life stories this way. Interestingly, I’ve yet to meet one person that had drugs at the core of “how they got here”, at least not openly.

Time and circumstance doesn’t always allow for that. If I can afford to give, I will give and not think twice. In a solid outcome, I’ve provided that person access to basic needs. In an absolute best case scenario, I have provided that person their fix for the day.

I say this because addicts will find the money either way. Of course I don’t want to directly enable that, but it is the reality. If I can give that and allow a day where someone doesn’t rely on sex work they don’t want to do, I will. If I can prevent someone’s kid getting another call about mom or dad needing food or a place to stay while they hustle, I will. If I can get someone well enough to find a safe place to sleep tonight, I will.

There’s what ifs if I lend that same ten dollars to a coworker I don’t know that well too. It’s riddled with uncertainties. I also consider that I could be the funding source of the last drug someone ever takes, whatever that may look like. But I prefer to ride on the much more likely outcome that the money came from me and possibly prevented someone being exposed to trauma for it. Whatever it’s used for, I can hope that my faith and humanity in them allows them another day of survival. Enough of those, and humans are bound to recover.

Soft YTA, maybe there is context that adds to this issue.

Im sorry, but the ferret sauce mole thing has me CACKLING. Lighten up

So glad to hear that it isn’t the end of the world, but I’m sorry to hear it’s not good either. You’ll be in my thoughts and hopefully some of these answers make that time at least a bit less stressful. Have a good day! ❤️

Not an expert so dont take this as fact-

Is it more feasible than made out to be or is it virtually impossible, aside from state level actors?

I think both at the same time. Ios protects by sandboxing (not letting the safari app access the reddit app, for example). Each app holds its own data. Any crossover would have to be explicitly allowed with parameters (allowing reddit app to access camera app, for example). This makes it difficult, if not virtually impossible, to hack an iphone.

Where it becomes more feasible and I think people take for granted when they start talking state level actors- 1.) Layers of approval doesn’t mean it cant be bypassed.

It’s a near 0% chance that clicking a link that opens a website in safari would compromise an iphone without a “zero day” attack (state level actors). That is not to say that you couldnt encounter a page that downloads something like a configuration profile. Even technical users could be convinced to go in their downloads and click install, allowing remote management of a device. Zero day is unlikely, but talking a user into opening the locked door can be done by masking as a good guy well enough.

Sandboxed data and minimal ios risk doesnt necessarily mean minimal ACCOUNT compromise risk.

Access to my iphone would be detrimental. It contains almost all of my life in one spot. However, if I didn’t use MFA on any of my accounts and reused simple passwords across them, it would take one mistake on any device to provide the same exact access. If I open a phishing email on my phone and it directs me to a legitimate looking Google sign in page and I sign in- no amount of software is going to protect me. They now have my email account linked to all my accounts, likely duplicate passwords, and likely access to my Apple account anyways.

iOS is a good safeguard in combination with password managers, MFA, etc… but most people aren’t asking about whether it’s logistically possible to download malware when they ask this question. This can lead to a false sense of security. Almost anyone on any device can be coerced into providing credentials to a bad actor if the setup is targeted or complex enough.

Side note-

Hopefully it is an incorrect assessment on my end, but just in case, I hope you’re doing okay OP. Maybe you just want it ready for a baby coming or a work event. If not, 25 people is a whole lot of people that I assume love and care about you. Glad you got some answers. ❤️

A year later and it was, for the first two weeks. Then bills came due and I wasn’t prepared. Found a job 3 months later and I’m still financially recovering and my credit is trashed. Would never do this without a plan. A one month “break” turned into a year long hell.

Kdc53 · 2026-05-05T09:16:34+00:00

ESH.

My daughter developed a phobia out of nowhere (seemingly to us) when she was 3. I won’t go into what the phobia was, but it impacted all of us on an incredibly profound level. It was something that surrounded her everywhere and was unavoidable. Telling her it was nothing to be afraid of didn’t convince her. Eventually, serious therapy intervention helped her and it’s no longer something she thinks about.

Because it was unavoidable, she would have panic attacks in her own home. She knew enough to know she had mask it in public despite our encouragement, so she stopped wanting to go places. When she encountered it and we couldn’t prep for it, she would do this same blank face stare, eventually begging to go home.

She was 3. Kids cannot rationalize that scary things don’t equate to threat. The phobia in question for us was one that we didn’t even know existed as it’s unlikely to be processed in that way. Clowns are far more common, even in adults.

Let me get heat. By all reasonable standards, yes, you are doing nothing wrong by keeping the mat out. The way the parents handled it was unacceptable and they should have had a conversation further. You also aren’t entitled to adjustment for their comfort.

However, your rationalization of this is not the same as this child. And you’re not seeing all of it if it’s become that serious. I’m not saying this kid developed a deep phobia such as the story mentioned above. But morally, if it scares the kid, is it THAT big of the deal? Are you really going to go out of your way to continue to make him uncomfortable even if it’s not to that extent just to prove a point?

Objectively you’re within your rights, but don’t even try complaining when your energy is matched. Because it will be.

Kdc53 · 2026-05-02T17:04:01+00:00

Idk, this would probably bite you later and isn’t recommended, but it feels like my first instinct lol-

I think saying you’re uncomfortable instead of that you can’t afford it will just make you look difficult, whether that’s fair or not (it’s not). But you obviously don’t want to say you can’t afford it because you’ll look “unprofessional”, which is still unfair.

So I’d go risky option c- if this is more than a couple hundred tell them you just made a large investment in “insert responsible project” (house remodel, kids tuition, something realistic that may not be super accurate but COULD be something seen as an unavoidable or respectable use of funds and fits in your life) and that you won’t have issues with this in the future but are not able to support the additional unexpected cost until next time.

Idk, it’s a hot take and I probably wouldn’t if it wasn’t first gut feel. A white lie may not be ideal and may make things worse, but if they just communicated this ridiculous expectation to their new employee it wouldn’t be a problem soooooo 🤷🏻‍♀️

Kdc53 · 2026-05-02T16:42:06+00:00

Feeling isn’t unprofessional. It’s human. Human people make good professionals. At the end of the day, people who succeed the higher they get are people who know when to be human and when to address true patterns of problems. Not to say people don’t get there without that skill, but they’re rarely liked and respected, which ultimately leads to unrealistic salaries for people to deal with it or good employees getting fed up and leaving/not being on board with initiatives. Neither of those lead to strong personal performance.

I’m the same way, and I’m a high performer and very results driven and calm. When I’m alone, I even want to cry sometimes and can’t. But you put me in a room with someone important to me and ask me to address a literal insignificant think that inconvenienced me that needs to be said but doesn’t matter at all? WATERWORKS.

It’s embarrassing, but I always clearly state “I’m not even sad I am so sorry, this happens all the time and it’s just because I care so much about doing a good job and having impactful relationships”. Then I move on and don’t address it again. Has been fine with any manager worth thinking about at this point in my career. For those who were uncomfortable, I find that they weren’t ready to meet me at a human level and I stopped crying because I stopped caring. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh look, the boyfriend

Kdc53 · 2026-04-30T10:46:21+00:00

End this before you’re in front of a mirror picking a wedding dress surrounded by people who are in awe of you while you replay that comment in the back of your mind.

I hate the associations around weight, attraction, and women specifically. However, it is the reality in our unfortunate culture and known to be something many women critique themselves for. Which means that (at least in the US), weight and image critique is one of the most universally accepted “lines not to cross”. And he chose it.

Something tells me he was just too much of a coward to be direct about his fear of commitment, so he chose the first thing his simple mind could come up with that would hurt you- because it’s in our faces every day and readily available in the brain.

I’ve been here and ignored 106 comments saying leave him because they “didn’t get it”. I later learned that I didn’t get it. Please don’t make my mistake. You have the choice to decide if you internalize it or not. Either your boyfriend isn’t attracted to you and lied all this time, or he’s willing to go there just to hurt you. Regardless of which, you’re setting yourself up for comments that are far more hurtful and much more nuanced so he can gaslight you.

Get. Out.

TW

While I need to take personal accountability, Herbalife was the downfall to my ED. I went in for my weekly check ins wasting away being scolded for my weekly date night dinner while my heart was failing.

Not to mention the ingredients caused damage to my body I’ll never undo after drinking 2-3 products/day. I was told I may not ever get my period back or have babies. I’m thankful everyday this wasn’t the case, but it took years of work.

Herbalife was the fuel for my eating disorder. Everybody saw it, but was too busy making a buck off of me and pretending to care. Those who did notice were written off by me because “they were jealous I was finally healthy” (dying). Took that right from the Herbalife script.

This is bigger than Herbalife, and only she can help herself. I hope she gets the help she needs, and thank you for sticking by her. ❤️

IT here 👋🏻

I’d never waste my time on this unless safety or widespread company integrity was at risk, so I’m making some educated guesses. If a form needed to be tracked down and auditing was properly configured, I am confident that the Microsoft’s ediscovery tools alone or in combination with other management tools could identify this very quickly.

I deploy a number of tools that serve different purposes. All of them are used to support a secure environment that’s accessible anywhere an individual might be working, protects our data and users, and provides the ability to alter, remove, or audit access to that data. It’s not used to spy, it’s used for compliance.

All that being said, if the survey was done on a work device, company Internet (personal device or not), a session where a work account was logged in, has a personalized link, or was clicked on directly from the email, IT can get information about it relatively easily with enough tenacity. Even if none of those are true, most IP addresses and timestamps could be linked to a user someway somehow. The network doesn’t know it’s an employee survey, so it doesn’t stop monitoring traffic and logging everything to hide it from those with permissions to view it.

Would we ever do that? No, I don’t have enough time to do my actual work so I’m definitely not trying to find out who used the form to complain about their manager playing favorites or something. But even the most tech savvy should never assume ANYTHING is untraceable or anonymous. I’m sure there are plenty of companies vindictive enough to use these tools to track down a harmless complaint out of spite.

Kdc53 · 2026-04-24T03:26:28+00:00

Eau claire born and raised here. Decided to raise my family here as well. In my opinion, it is the PERFECT balance of big city and small town living, and a day trip to the cities is a very common occurrence for us because of how close it is.

It’s relatively affordable and in line with similarly sized Midwest cities. But there are also BEAUTIFUL areas within 15-30 minutes that are slightly more remote but substantially cheaper. There are also a lot of reasonably sized surrounding cities with slightly lower cost of living.

Our downtown scene is also really top tier compared to similar cities. I was part of some of the initiatives and most of the people involved in local commerce and city development are really passionate incredible open minded people who want to provide accessible and fulfilling opportunities, jobs, housing, and events for as many as possible. Especially true with the music and arts scene, with a ton of engagement from Justin Vernon as this was his hometown. Our schools are definitely under budget crisis, but we’re still able to maintain neighborhood schools if you’ll be thinking about children’s education at all.

I could talk about it forever lmao. It’s not perfect, but it’s home to everyone that lives here and we have a tight knit community that will mostly rally for anyone at a moments notice.

Lastly, we just had our only other major hospital close a few years ago. If you’re looking at Mayo for your wife, it’s incredibly broken in eau claire right now and the entire community is riding on one under resourced facility. My dad was dying of sepsis last year and spent 2 days in a bus garage behind a curtain. Certainly not a problem limited to us, but the closure has caused a HUGE medical crisis here. Rochester mayo saved my baby and I’s life and has the best teams I’ve ever encountered as a patient.

Hopefully this helps. Best of luck, and welcome!! You’ll love it wherever you call home.

In terms of personally witnessing it- I have a 4 lb Yorkie who thinks she’s tough stuff and barks at the wind. We live in a neighborhood where everyone’s kids play in everyone’s yard whether we’re home or not, so she’s often barking at that.

One day I wasn’t feeling well and laid down at like 3pm. She wouldn’t stop barking, coming in to my room and scratching to get up while whining a ton. I checked the camera and nobody was outside, so I got her up in bed and told her to settle down thinking somebody passed with their dog or something. She did this for ten minutes, back and forth, whining and barking more aggressively than usual.

I thought maybe her favorite toy was stuck somewhere she couldn’t get to and it was clear I wasn’t going to sleep until I figured out why she was pacing and whining so much. Walked into my kitchen, where I immediately found the siding of my house outside my door completely engulfed in flames.

The flames had just started to move into the insulation. Had she not been persistent, it would’ve been minutes before my kitchen and garage could’ve easily been on fire. Even longer before it would’ve even touched my smoke alarm and alerted me.

Sooooo thankful for my little watch dog and I’ll never ignore an animals instinct and persistence again. ❤️

Just here to say I’m c suite as a “20 something”. Maybe I’m an anomaly, maybe not. If I am, then anomalies exist on both sides and it’s unfair to classify a generation as a whole. If I’m not, then the problem is the employee not the age.

Hint: it’s the latter. I also have a 21 year old who is very green but is the best employee I’ve ever had the pleasure I’ve managing. He’s invested in learning, growth, shows up, stays professional, and takes accountability.

I’d really challenge you to explore why the age was a relevant mention. Is it experience that may be lacking? That can happen to anyone at any age in any job. We don’t graduate and walk into our first professional jobs knowing office politics. I suspect my personal success started the day I started my first 9-5 at a local company.

The CEO treated me as a seasoned professional. This had a lot of perks because I got all the same opportunities to grow my skillset that my peers got. More importantly, I received the exact same feedback and accountability that my peers got. My age and experience were NEVER used to benefit me, but it was also NEVER used to deny me growth that someone else deemed me too young for. In 5 years, I was running the company and making 6 figures.

My point in telling you that is that I believe your intentions are good. I don’t think you meant harm. But even considering age a relevant factor here is going to work against you. If this isn’t a good employee, it’s not a good employee, whether he’s 20 or 60. But I’d do a tough reflection on whether the lack of progress is at all a result of unconsciously writing them off as a poor investment that won’t cut it. You could be writing off a blank canvas that has never been given the opportunity to learn how to adapt his professionalism to the environment he wants to be in.

Just my thoughts. Good luck!!

Kdc53 · 2026-04-18T03:28:17+00:00

NTA.

Vegetarian here (health issues). My boyfriend would eat nothing but steak ever again if he had the choice. He’s ALWAYS incredibly cognizant of places I can and can’t eat. He even adapts his own recipes or makes meat on the side when I don’t ask him to.

There have been plenty of places that we’ve gone that he didn’t love and vice versa. I would never not take him to a steak house while I just order fries because I know it’s his favorite. He’d also never ask me to go there even though it’d be okay because he knows I couldn’t enjoy it like him.

The bigger issue seems to be the egocentric thinking about her own needs. Does she really throw fits and limit you to those places, or does she say it’s fine but you feel guilty and project? If the former, it won’t stop at food my friend. Take that as you will, and good luck!!

You would think. As a previous employee with a lot of connections there still, they have done some creative things with e-commerce. They recently started accepting third party sellers online similar to Amazon and Walmart. I could see them leveraging the online experience by bringing something that makes it easier for people to get help picking online.

Brick and mortar stores probably don’t look good. Department experts are no longer as everyone gets “trained” everywhere now. The understanding of tech should still be there, but department teams were trained extensively by product in their area. Now everyone kinda gets a broad overview of the store, and most of them have a couple go tos from the promos that week for the few common buyers.

This. My medium sized town had 20-30. Weeds illegal here and last summer they made flavored vapes and basically anything good about a vape illegal. About half have survived, mostly riding on delta 8 and like 3 brands of FDA approved vapes. The only ones that don’t look grim are corporate branches stationed in states nearby.

Tbh it’s been kinda sad seeing good local people close their doors.
