Restablecida la plataforma de aprendizaje Canvas tras un ciberataque global

El sistema de gestión de aprendizaje Canvas ha vuelto a estar en línea tras un ciberataque que interrumpió el acceso a universidades de todo el mundo a partir del 7 de mayo. El incidente, reivindicado por el grupo de piratas informáticos Shiny Hunters, afectó a más de 8.000 instituciones y comprometió los datos personales de millones de estudiantes y profesores.

Canvas, una plataforma basada en la nube utilizada por escuelas y universidades, incluso en Sudáfrica, experimentó una interrupción de varias horas a partir del 7 de mayo. Instituciones como la Universidad de Wits, Harvard, la Universidad de Michigan y la Universidad Estatal de Pensilvania se encontraron entre las afectadas.

Instructure, la empresa matriz, confirmó que Canvas ya está totalmente disponible para su uso. Su socio forense externo no encontró pruebas de que los autores de la amenaza tengan actualmente acceso a la plataforma.

Shiny Hunters, que tiene un historial de ataques a corporaciones globales, se atribuyó la responsabilidad de la brecha. Universidades de Estados Unidos y otras regiones también reportaron interrupciones en el acceso a materiales de clase y recursos estudiantiles.
