United States — On May 7–8 the Canvas learning management system experienced a cyberattack and widespread outage that left thousands of students and staff unable to access coursework, prompting Instructure to place the platform in maintenance mode while universities and school districts disabled access, alerted users, and assessed potential data exposure. Boston and other university officials this week notified communities of operational changes: UMass Lowell delayed on-campus exams scheduled for May 8 until May 11, the University of Michigan disabled Canvas access and urged account logout, multiple Utah districts informed parents of potential compromise, and investigators and Instructure continue forensic review and communications.
