Umeå University confirms that data was stolen from them after the hacker attack on the Canvas learning platform.

The hacker group ShinyHunters has claimed responsibility for the attack, but this is unconfirmed.

The American company Instructure, which provides the Canvas platform, was the target of a security incident.

Instructure recently disclosed a data breach where hackers obtained sensitive information including student names, email addresses, and messages between users.

Umeå University continues to use Canvas as usual.

Personal data and private messages may have been leaked.

Every single student and teacher from Queensland schools have had their data stolen following a worldwide security breach.

There was 'no evidence of passwords, dates of birth or financial information accessed'.

ShinyHunters set a deadline of May 6 for Instructure to 'negotiate a solution'.

Nord University's IT, education department, and data protection officer are in close dialogue with Sikt and are continuously following up information from the supplier.

It is still not clear whether user data from Nord University is actually compromised.

Several universities in Norway, including NMBU, University of Innlandet, University of Oslo, NTNU, and Oslo Met, use Canvas.

On Monday, many students across Norway were notified of a possible security breach in Canvas, which was confirmed the following day.

The Norwegian Data Protection Authority has received nearly 20 deviation reports from various educational institutions in Norway.

The Norwegian Data Protection Authority considers this a serious incident with potentially large amounts of personal data compromised.

ShinyHunters has been active in cybercrime since 2019 and typically uses extortion.

ShinyHunters states that each school can negotiate a settlement by contacting them through a consulting firm.

ShinyHunters broke into Canvas login pages and posted threatening messages.

Data from students at the University of Iceland may have been stolen in that attack, but the university considers it unlikely.

It is not known whether or how this will affect Icelandic universities.

The deadline passed during the night before Thursday.

Earlier, Uppsala University communicated that data may have leaked but that Studium would function as usual and be 'fully secured'.

Queensland Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek said school locations were also compromised.

The cyberattack affected an estimated 200 million people and more than 9000 institutions universally.

The Department of Education immediately started boosting its firewall protections as a result of the cyberattack.

The names and emails of all past and present individuals ending in '@eq.qld.gov.au' and '@qed.gov.au', dating back to 2020, were compromised on Thursday morning.
