8 years working to get this thesis extension published - precisely about the very conditions that enabled #CanvasHack impact.

We warn this very type of consolidation is to be expected. We were too far ahead of the curve.

But I'm not good enough for #UCMerced.

If anyone’s teaching plans are disrupted today because #Canvas has been hacked, maybe this would be an opportune time to read and discuss an article by Cory Doctorow about platforms and enshittification, and reflect on how this applies to higher education ? #CanvasHack
Holy shit. I was in Canvas and then all of a sudden, this showed up!

Omfg #CANVAS got hacked, not #CANVA.

🤯

That makes a LOT more sense, actually.

I kept reading news about what my eyes were telling me was the Canva Hack, and I was, like, well how bad could that be, even worst-case scenario? 🤔

A #CanvasHack is definitely worse.

And speaking further on the #CanvasHack seems colleges just got scared of it. The response? If you're traveling abroad and need campus access, you're SoL, unless you turn in specific info (which may or not be secured).

Man, the #CanvasHack opinion pieces are now in swing. I saw this in The Chronicle, but they got it from this other blog, so I used the accessible link:

The Canvas Hack Confirmed Some Professors’ Fears. It Likely Won’t Change Anything.
Last week’s widespread Canvas outage validated years of faculty anxiety about higher ed’s dependence on private tech vendors. Most say the likely response is a new vendor, not a new approach.

So will the CEO resign (but still keep his bonuses) for buying back access to the student data? Or seen more as a hero for encouraging hackers to do it again? #CanvasHack

Kudos to MCPS for being cautious about turning systems back on until they understood what had been comprised, and also to Instructure, whose communications folk realized they messed up by going dark while they figured out what went wrong, and promised to do better in future. #CanvasHack
