Mesa Public Schools has disabled its Canvas software system after the system’s parent company, Instructure, announced a cybersecurity incident earlier this week that has since been upgraded to a ransomware attack.
“As a precaution, and to protect our students and staff, Mesa Public Schools has temporarily disabled access to Canvas across the district,” according to a letter the district sent to parents. “At this time, Canvas is not accessible to students or staff. We do not yet have an estimated timeline for when service will be restored. We will share updates as soon as more information becomes available.”
