in reply to funnymonkey • • •The report says, " The single largest event – the breach of Instructure Holdings’ Canvas platform – accounts for an estimated 275 million of those notices. The confirmed number of U.S.-based victims from Canvas is still pending."
I've emailed ITRC to ask if they got that estimate from Canvas/Instructure or from the ShinyHunters leak site claims. We'll see what they say.
