US Lawmakers Demand Testimony from Instructure Over Repeated Data Breaches Affecting Students
U.S. House lawmakers are pressing Instructure, the company behind the Canvas education software, to testify about its handling of two significant data breaches. These breaches allowed hackers to access personal data of millions of students globally. The House Homeland Security Committee, led by Representative Andrew Garbarino, is spearheading the investigation, citing concerns over the company's cybersecurity measures and its coordination with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). The breaches have raised questions about Instructure's ability to protect sensitive data, as the same vulnerability was exploited twice by hackers. Instructure has reportedly reached an agreement with the hackers, who claim to have deleted the stolen data, though the company has not disclosed if a ransom was paid.
