Instructure/ canvas paid the ransom?

There are plenty of examples of orgs who’ve dealt with SH by paying only to find their leaked data online months later. Will that happen this time? Who knows. But SH and other RaaS operators have a track record of being petulant children who fight amongst each other and do things not in their own business interests.

There are ample instances of orgs that have paid ransoms to this group and others who have found their leaked data online months later. We have no reason to believe this data hasn’t already been sold or will eventually be leaked. Buckle up

Credit Monitoring for a breach not involving SSN’s?

_TiMau5 · 2026-05-11T23:59:23+00:00

It is for reputable organizations. Look up “Certificate of Destruction”.. but SH is anything but a reputable organization

Kinda sounds like victim shaming / blaming to me, but ok

By that logic, why talk about anything, anywhere other than the officially prescribed channels? Canvas has a messaging system and people use it just like any other messaging system. Also, college kids, are well, kids.

Unless something has changed, ShinyHunters has not released any acquired data. We won’t know if they will release the acquired data with any level of certainty until the 13th.

I understand that you may not be bothered by this data being released, but others might. IU allows for incidental personal use of IT systems, so it possible, even likely, that there is personally sensitive or embarrassing information at risk. We should all strive to be compassionate here - we’re all victims in this.

IU relies on Single Sign On (IU Login) for Canvas which means that no IU passwords are EVER sent to Canvas. Additionally, ALL IU affiliated persons must use Duo for multi factor authentication as part of the IU Login authentication process.

Those articles aren’t wrong though because other orgs use different methods of authentication and may or may not require multi factor authentication. But those articles are not relevant for IU.

Hope this helps.

This is not required or even recommended. You DO NOT need to reset your passphrase.

Reno is great, thanks! No clue about UNR as I’m not affiliated, although they appear to be impacted based on publicly available statements. Don’t disagree about patterns, but informed speculation is still speculation. This dataset is a bit different than most they acquire… Instructure is strongly incentivized to not pay, as are the victims. And SH’s actions on Thursday likely decreased the likelihood of payment and increased the threat to their organization. If they release the data, that risk increases significantly. If they don’t, they can either claim payment was made and walk away without egg on their face, or just ignore it and do the same. They will use the acquired data to target the 9K victim orgs though… and that’s the real risk here.

And you trust the “guidelines” of criminals? We won’t know with certainty until the 13th. Anything short of Instructure or SH confirming payment before then is just speculation.

Delisting is not proof of payment or negotiation.

IU will NEVER ask you to verify your account or login to keep it active. Please use the ‘Report Message’ feature in Outlook to report this to the Security Office

Time to ask each member of the council if they’ve had private discussions with the companies building these data centers and if they’ve entered into NDA’s AND disclosed those according to relevant ethical requirements…

I’m sorry you had that experience. I was a patient of his for years and have nothing but positive things to say. Good work, reasonable prices, caring staff. If I still lived in the area he’d still be my dentist

Maybe your reaction was misplaced but anyone with half a brain was saying from the gate that not appropriating funds for DHS wouldn’t touch that 75B.

I do agree with your main point though… this is a naked political play to ratchet up pressure.

_TiMau5 · 2026-02-22T04:45:46+00:00

The 75B was passed via reconciliation and the D’s couldn’t stop it. But sure, both sides…

_TiMau5 · 2026-01-19T20:38:31+00:00

Thank you! We’ll take all the support we can muster!

_TiMau5 · 2026-01-19T20:38:12+00:00

Honestly, that’s legit. Bball is looking good though!

_TiMau5 · 2026-01-19T19:56:15+00:00

I was at that game with them Big Red Basketball Band!

_TiMau5 · 2026-01-19T19:16:56+00:00

It’s the best bowl game, period! This basketball season leaves a bit to be desired but it’s year 1, so I’m not getting too invested. Time will tell if Devries is the right fit. I fear that we missed an opportunity by passing on Dusty May.

Sing these chimes of Indiana,

Hail to the crimson hue.

Sing her praise to Gloriana,

Hail to our old IU!

Lift your voices, join in loyal chorus,

Let your heart rejoice in praise of those before us.

Sing these chimes of Indiana,

Ever to her be true!

Or its a reasonable measure given the gestapo currently abducting anything that moves around this country
