Deal reached with hackers to delete data stolen from the Canvas platform

The parent company should face severe penalties for allowing this kind of breach to happen and also for terrorist financing. We are really living in the Stone Age of information security.

They're paying them to delete the data?

> The company that operates online learning system Canvas said it struck a deal with hackers to delete the data they pilfered in a cyberattack that created chaos for students, many of them in the middle of finals.

How stupid can they be?

> The company acknowledged that there was no way to be sure that the data was erased for good, and said it took action because of concerns about potential publication of the data.

Why is the U.S. allowing Canvas to fund North Korean or Russian cyberterrorists?

So stupid, they will pay but have no proof that the hackers will not keep it to leak or sell it again in a few years...
