04 May 2026

Educational tech giant Instructure recently confirmed that data was stolen in a cyberattack, with the ShinyHunters extortion gang claiming responsibility.
The breach exposed personal information such as names, email addresses, and student ID numbers, but no evidence of passwords or financial information being compromised has been found.
Instructure has taken measures to enhance security and notify affected institutions.
The ShinyHunters group claims to have accessed data from around 9,000 schools worldwide, with over 240 million records containing personal information being leaked.

Further details about the breach are still under investigation.
