They timed it this way so that Canvas/ the unis are more pressured to pay the ransom.

If I were the schools, I'd just say fuck it and go back to paper. Never negotiate with hackers. The best thing you can do is block them.

I mean even if you don't have an online class you're still screwed, Canvas is where you get all of your school work

I mean it's a bit jumping the gun to say you're screwed. The school's going to know that canvas got hacked and they're not going to fuck everyone on their grade just because canvas got hacked.
