Several local universities are among thousands nationwide that were affected by a cybersecurity breach on the digital classroom hub Canvas.

The University of the Incarnate Word, UTSA, and the Alamo Colleges District all confirmed they were affected by Thursday’s disruption. A hacking group called ShinyHunters reportedly left ransom notes on the homepages of college and university Canvas sites across the country.
