Shiny Hunters in Podcasts

The hacking group Shiny Hunters had threatened to leak data from nearly 9,000 schools and 275 million individuals.

Canvas' parent company Instructure says the group, calling itself Shiny Hunters, asked for ransom in return for not releasing students' private information.

The hacking group Shiny Hunters replaced many Canvas sites with a ransom message, prompting schools to shut the service down as finals approach.
