The Breach That Won't End: An Update on Canvas, and how they created…

Instructure's forensic response to a second breach in eight months has stalled after the third-party platform chosen to deliver sensitive customer data itself became a security risk, compounding legal exposure and exposing systemic gaps in vendor privilege management across education institutions. If you sell identity, access control, or audit tools to schools and universities, Canvas just became your customer's nightmare scenario—they've now been breached twice through different attack surfaces in eight months, and their own incident response created a third exposure point. Every institution running Canvas now has a credible business case to replace their access and logging infrastructure; the vendor trust is broken and regulators are watching.
