Plataforma de aprendizado Canvas é restaurada após ataque cibernético global

O sistema de gestão de aprendizado Canvas voltou a ficar online após um ataque cibernético que interrompeu o acesso de universidades ao redor do mundo a partir de 7 de maio. O incidente, reivindicado pelo grupo de hackers Shiny Hunters, afetou mais de 8.000 instituições e comprometeu dados pessoais de milhões de estudantes e professores.

O Canvas, uma plataforma baseada em nuvem utilizada por escolas e universidades, incluindo na África do Sul, passou por uma interrupção que durou várias horas a partir de 7 de maio. Instituições como Wits University, Harvard, a Universidade de Michigan e a Universidade Estadual da Pensilvânia estavam entre as impactadas.

A Instructure, empresa controladora, confirmou que o Canvas já está totalmente disponível para uso. Seu parceiro forense externo não encontrou evidências de que os invasores tenham acesso à plataforma no momento.

O Shiny Hunters, que tem um histórico de ataques a corporações globais, reivindicou a responsabilidade pela invasão. Universidades nos Estados Unidos e em outras regiões também relataram interrupções no acesso a materiais de aula e aos sistemas dos estudantes.
