The US company Instructure, the maker of Canvas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/2026\/05\/08\/universiteit-trekt-stekker-uit-canvas-na-mogelijk-nieuwe-hack-door-shinyhunters\/\">had to<\/a> pay the ransom by 12 May at the latest, otherwise the data would be made public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Instructure a deal has now been reached and the stolen data have been deleted. The company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instructure.com\/incident_update\">reports<\/a> this on its website. Instructure also apologises and says that Canvas is safe to use again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether ransom was paid in exchange for the deletion of the data has not been disclosed. The hackers have confirmed the deal, <a href=\"https:\/\/nos.nl\/artikel\/2614024-bedrijf-achter-canvas-sluit-deal-met-hackers-gestolen-gegevens-verwijderd\">reports<\/a> the NOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dutch educational institutions were also affected by the hack. It involved seven universities and at least two universities of applied sciences that use Canvas. Students use the platform to view their timetables or grades. They can also send messages to classmates and lecturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have the data actually been deleted? Instructure warns that there is never complete certainty when negotiating with cybercriminals. The company is conducting further investigation into the hack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/posts-list\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sr-only\">Een lijst met artikelen<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"space-y-6 md:space-y-8\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"grid items-strecth grid-cols-1 gap-2 md:gap-4 lg:gap-8\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"@container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<div data-component=\"teaser-post-small\" class=\"block-theme-sand  relative flex h-full bg-sand-300\n\tblock-theme-violet:bg-white block-theme-violet:text-purple block-theme-mocha:bg-sand-500 block-theme-mocha:text-brown\n\tblock-theme-sand:bg-sand-300 block-theme-sand:text-neutral-900\n\tblock-theme-violet:outline-purple-100 block-theme-violet:outline-1 block-theme-violet:outline-t-0\n\ttheme-mocha:bg-white! theme-violet:bg-white! theme-sand:bg-white!\n\tflex-row gap-4 @md:gap-8 p-4 @md:p-6\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image:w-full image:aspect-square image:object-cover shrink-0 size-17.5 @sm:size-21.25 @md:size-30 @lg:size-40\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/shinyhunters-melding-op-canvas-eur-foto-tamara-awwad-460x460.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1778227356\" class=\"attachment-square_lg size-square_lg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/shinyhunters-melding-op-canvas-eur-foto-tamara-awwad-460x460.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1778227356 460w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/shinyhunters-melding-op-canvas-eur-foto-tamara-awwad-115x115.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1778227356 115w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/shinyhunters-melding-op-canvas-eur-foto-tamara-awwad-230x230.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1778227356 230w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"flex flex-col gap-2 md:gap-4 \">\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"text-md @lg:text-lg\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2026\/05\/08\/universiteit-trekt-stekker-uit-canvas-na-mogelijk-nieuwe-hack-door-shinyhunters\/\" class=\"absolute-link text-current hocus:underline inline-block\">\n\t\t\t\tLive: University pulls plug on Canvas after possible new hack by ShinyHunters\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-wrap gap-4 items-center\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"sr-only\">Gepubliceerd op:<\/span>\n\t\t\t<time class=\"text-sm font-soehne text-neutral-900\" datetime=\"2026-05-08\">8 May 2026<\/time>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t<ul data-component=\"list-badges\" class=\"flex items-center gap-2 flex-wrap\" aria-label=\"Geplaatst in categorie\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-component=\"badge\" class=\"block-theme-violet:bg-purple font-soehne font-bold text-sm bg-brown-600 block-theme-violet:bg-purple text-white py-[2px] px-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\tIT\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8 lg:mt-10\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sr-only\">De redactie<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"space-y-6\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"grid grid-cols-1 md:grid-cols-2 gap-4 md:gap-8 md:items-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-component=\"teaser-person\" class=\"relative flex gap-4 items-center md:gap-8\">\n\n\t\t\t<span class=\"image:rounded-full image:size-20 image:aspect-square image:object-cover md:image:size-36 shrink-0\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"410\" height=\"410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/hop_logo.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1770042323\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/hop_logo.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1770042323 410w, https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/hop_logo-300x300.jpg?image-crop-positioner-ts=1770042323 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 410px) 100vw, 410px\" \/>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\n\t<div>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/persons\/hoger-onderwijs-persbureau\/\" class=\"absolute-link font-tiempos-headline underline hocus:no-underline decoration-1 underline-offset-2 text-lg text-current\">Hoger Onderwijs Persbureau<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Hacking group Shinyhunters has returned the stolen data of more than 275 million Canvas users to Instructure.
