Canvas Pays Ransomware Scum, Proving Wokeness Makes You Weak (and Hackable)
Another day, another corporation bent the knee to cyber-terrorists; turns out 'woke' security is no security at all.

Well, well, well, look what we have here. Canvas, that bastion of progressive indoctrination masquerading as an online learning platform, got hacked. Hacked hard. And what did they do? They paid the ransom. That's right, folks, they bent the knee to the cyber-terrorists. Turns out all that DEI training doesn't stop hackers from stealing your data. Who knew?
Remember when ShinyHunters threatened to leak data from 9,000 schools and 275 million individuals unless they got paid? Turns out they weren't bluffing. Canvas, run by Instructure – a company probably boasting about its ESG score – coughed up the dough to make the problem go away. They called it an “agreement” with the “unauthorized actor.” I call it capitulation.
But hey, at least they got “shred logs” as proof that the hackers deleted the data. Shred logs! As if we should trust cybercriminals. It’s like trusting Hillary Clinton to secure your emails. This is the level of competence we're dealing with.
Here's the kicker: they admit they can’t be sure the data is really gone. “While there is never complete certainty when dealing with cyber criminals,” Instructure said. No duh. They took these guys at their word after being blackmailed. Based.
Let's be real: this is what happens when companies prioritize virtue signaling over actual security. They're so busy pushing woke agendas that they forget the basics. Strong borders (for your data), robust defenses, and a refusal to negotiate with terrorists (digital or otherwise). But no, they're too busy worrying about pronouns to worry about protecting your information. Thanks, Obama.
And the implications? Universities are now relying on woke companies for EVERYTHING. Grading, assignments, discussions… it's all on Canvas. And if Canvas can be hacked, then the entire system is vulnerable. We're talking about student ID numbers, emails, names… everything needed to ruin someone's life. But hey, at least they’re using the correct pronouns, right?
This isn’t just about Canvas; it's about the entire system. The government should step in. Invest in real cyber security, not some diversity initiative disguised as tech. It's time to start treating cyber security as a matter of national security because it is. It's time to put the nerds back in charge.
So, what's the lesson here? Don’t trust woke corporations with your data. They're too busy patting themselves on the back for their inclusivity to worry about keeping you safe. And remember, folks, get woke, get hacked. It's science.
