"The hacking and extortion gang ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for the breach, asserting they stole students' names, personal email addresses, and messages sent between teachers and students."
"ShinyHunters shared a sample of the stolen data with TechCrunch, which included data from two schools in the United States, one in Massachusetts and one in Tennessee."
"The sample did not contain passwords or the other types of data that Instructure said was unaffected by the breach."
"ShinyHunters also shared a list of about 8,800 schools allegedly affected by the breach, but TechCrunch could not confirm whether all the listed institutions were affected."
