Many schools across the country, including UC Berkeley were disrupted due to a cyberattack that hit the Canvas learning program during the finals period for most colleges. ShinyHunters, a group of teenage and young adult hackers in the U.S. and U.K., claimed responsibility for the breach. This group has been linked to several other large-scale cyberattacks, including the one on Ticketmaster. ShinyHunters have threatened around 9,000 schools to pay the ransom, or else 275 million individuals' data could be leaked. Due to the attack, many schools have continued to block students and teachers from accessing Canvas and any links sent by them.
