Instructure, the company behind the widely used educational platform Canvas, said Tuesday it reached an agreement with hackers behind a sweeping cyberattack to delete stolen student and teacher data.
The Utah-based education technology company said the hackers returned the stolen data and provided what it described as “digital shred logs” showing the files had been deleted, though Instructure declined to say whether it paid a ransom or disclose details of the agreement.
