🇨🇦 275 Million Records Breached—And Your Kids' Data Is For Sale

Canvas learning platform just got looted by ShinyHunters, exposing student names, emails, grades, and personal messages across thousands of schools worldwide. UofT, UBC, Alberta—all hit. The kicker? Hackers are targeting students specifically because they're at the beginning of their financial journey—clean credit, no debts, prime for identity theft that could take years to discover. Meanwhile, our institutions keep funneling sensitive data into centralized cloud platforms with no accountability when it all goes sideways.

This is what happens when education becomes a digitized product managed by third-party contractors answering to no one. PowerSchool, Ticketmaster, Telus, now Canvas—breach after breach, and still no one in Ottawa talks about data sovereignty or holding these platforms to account. Your kids are walking ATM machines in a system that treats security as an afterthought.
