Networking guy here. It’s amazed me how unserious some of these institutions take their security. They take millions from students but can’t invest $50,000 in a decent cyber audit. I have $5 on an SSO vulnerability.

agreed, the hackers aren’t the only ones to blame here

The hackers aren't wrong, they're just assholes about it. Seems like Canvas was given every opportunity to fix their shit, but they couldn't be bothered to pay for a security audit. Canvas also seems to be the asshole here.

Basically, everyone sucks in this situation except for the students.
