Looking through the Canvas hack victims list again to procrastinate studying and I noticed the Miami Marlins on there? Why would the Marlins use Canvas??

Other surprising non-educational victims of the Canvas hack that I've spotted on the list include the Canadian House of Commons, USA Swimming, Apple Inc. (!), Charles Schwab, American Cruise Lines, Anheuser-Busch, LexisNexis, LPGA, Fire Department of New York, Government of the Northwest Territories

Ah so Instructure (parent company of Canvas) was actually hacked on May 1, with the hack disclosed to the public by May 3. But yesterday (May 6) Instucture's Chief Information Security Officer Steve Proud said the company investigated itself and found nothing wrong!
