They've released the list of all the universities and institutions that are compromised to pay privately so their data doesn't get leaked. If you're a student, not only is it annoying during finals week to not have access to canvas, but what does this mean in a bigger set? isn't that big of a deal. league. But if they have access to your student email, your student ID, and the classes that you've taken, imagine the things that they can do with that.
