Cornellians are facing an unprecedented hurdle during the peak of study week as a massive Canvas outage enters its second day. With final exams scheduled to begin this Saturday, May 9, the timing could not be worse for students trying to access essential lecture notes and review materials. The hacking group ShinyHunters has claimed responsibility for the breach, threatening to leak the personal data of millions if a ransom isn’t paid by May 12. While the administration attempts to manage the situation with security patches, students are the ones left bearing the weight of the disruption during the most critical time of the semester. This digital chaos adds a layer of unnecessary stress to an already high-stakes week. As the campus navigates this blackout, the focus remains on the resilience of students who are forced to scramble for resources just to finish the year strong.
