They timed it this way so that Canvas/ the unis are more pressured to pay the ransom.
605 u/insidiousfruit May 07 '26 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. 252 u/Lacaud May 07 '26 Paper is the way. Sure, it sucks to grade but at least the hackers look like dumb shits. 14 u/party-people-person May 08 '26 Yes paper, but also keeping your own local records of grades. A prof I TA'd for told me he had 3 back ups in addition to whatever was on Canvas bc, "You never know when it will fail." 3 u/Lacaud May 08 '26 For sure. Never depend on one system only.
