Summary

Hide ▲

Instructure confirmed a data breach that exposed users' personal information, putting students, teachers, and staff at risk across affected institutions. The exposed material includes names, email addresses, student ID numbers, and messages among users, while the company said it found no evidence that passwords or financial information were involved. A group calling itself ShinyHunters claimed responsibility and said the data was stolen through a patched vulnerability, but that claim remains unverified. Instructure said it deployed patches, increased monitoring, and rotated application keys as part of its response.
