Hackers deface school login pages after Instructure hack

Cybercriminals ShinyHunters have escalated their attack on education technology firm Instructure, defacing login pages for its Canvas platform after a previous data breach. The hackers claim to have stolen sensitive student information and are demanding a settlement by May 12, threatening to release the data. This marks a second, separate breach, indicating an intensified effort to extort Instructure and its customers. The group previously claimed to have accessed data from nearly 9,000 schools, potentially affecting 231 million individuals, employing a consistent tactic of hacking, publicizing, and demanding ransom.
