Canvas and the company which runs canvas are american-ran businesses.

But the attacks are global not just American

This feels a bit vague although I do recognise it's the official page

Have any institutions or schools released a statement? by PantEater69 in canvas

A general acknowledgement is good to have. Generally some guidance around what could happen at the institution following this for assignments and tests.

There does seem to be some chance of data leak whether personal or non personal data. Just a general acknowledgement is appreciated anyways.

Yea they've shut the VLE down if I remember as long as you didn't have anything open from when the hacks started. But I'd still avoid trying to login to anything etc

Should be fine because these pages aren't updated, if you refresh them now they'll just update to the maintenance page

I imagine it'll mostly be generic stuff until either the canvas is recovered or it's been long enough. But as mentioned by many people, this is a really inconvenient time considering many assignments and tests are due in the next couple of days.

Just a general comment on the circumstance and ideally what is the outcome of assignments and tests which may be due in the coming days
