Penn State Canvas System Experiences Outage During Finals Week

Canvas, Penn State’s cloud-based learning management system, is currently experiencing an outage, per the University.

The outage comes during finals week when faculty and students use the website to complete exams. Penn State urges students to use an “abundance of caution” on the site until the outage is resolved.

“Users should avoid interacting with or clicking on any links, messages, or content posted by threat actors or that appear suspicious during this event,” Penn State said on its website. “Penn State will never direct users to unverified third-party sites for Canvas-related communications or remediation activities.”

A message displayed when users attempt to log in to the website claims that the site has been hacked. It says that schools affected should contact “TOX” immediately to negotiate a settlement, or risk a data leak. The pop-up claims the schools have until the end of the day.

Penn State says it will continue to share updates on Canvas’s status as they become available. To see the latest status information from Instructure, click here.
