University of Pennsylvania / Canvas Data Breach
The University of Pennsylvania recently disclosed a cybersecurity incident involving the Canvas learning platform operated by Instructure, potentially exposing sensitive student, faculty, and staff information. Although lawsuits were filed over a prior 2025 Penn-related breach, no class action has yet been filed regarding this newly reported May 2026 incident.
Cybersecurity experts have warned that educational institutions remain prime targets for hackers because they store valuable personal and financial information.
