The ShinyHunters hacking group stole student data from the popular education platform Canvas last week. Parent company Instructure apologized for the hack and said Canvas "remains safe to use."
The US parent company of online learning system Canvas said Monday that it has reached a deal with a hacking group which stole student and school data on the educational platform.
Instructure said in a statement posted online that it "reached an agreement with the unauthorized actor involved in this incident."
The company said "the data was returned to us" and "we received digital confirmation of data destruction (shred logs)."
"No Instructure customers will be extorted as a result of this incident, publicly or otherwise," the statement read. "This agreement covers all impacted Instructure customers, and there is no need for individual customers to attempt to engage with the unauthorized actor."
