KKR, Instructure sued over a cyberattack against Canvas education software. Instructure Holdings, which makes the popular Canvas system, and its owner, investment firm KKR, failed to protect student data, according to two lawsuits filed last week in federal courts in Utah and New York.
-

Instructure on Monday said it "reached an agreement with the unauthorized actor" to have stolen data destroyed and "that no Instructure customers will be extorted as a result of this incident." It didn't say whether it paid any ransom.

Instructure hasn't confirmed how many people have been affected or filed notices with state regulators. Canvas has been restored. KKR bought the Salt Lake City company in 2024 for $4.8 billion.
