Millions of students and teachers are at risk of identity theft and data breaches after hackers compromised the Canvas learning platform, a widely used online educational tool. The breach, which was first discovered in January but only recently disclosed, exposed sensitive information including names, email addresses, and login credentials of users. Canvas, which is used by over 20,000 educational institutions worldwide, has notified affected users and is urging them to change their passwords and be on the lookout for suspicious activity. As the number of cyber attacks on educational institutions continues to rise, experts are warning that the breach could have far-reaching consequences for the individuals affected.
