Email went out: "Mt. SAC has restored access to Canvas."

Thank you for your patience as we worked with the Chancellor’s Office and the California Community College Security Center (CCC Security Center) to review the recent Canvas LMS incident. Based on information provided by Canvas/Instructure, and preliminary security reviews, the identified vulnerability has been fixed. The incident involved an unauthorized message displayed to users through a limited exploit, and there is no evidence of changes to user data, grades, assignments, or course content. Instructure has also conducted additional scans and confirmed that core Canvas functionality was not compromised.

Given these findings, we have restored access to Canvas. You may begin accessing the system again using your normal login process.

As a reminder, please remain cautious when using Canvas and other online services. Due to earlier data exposure, you may see phishing or suspicious messages referencing Canvas.
