We are aware of the security breach at Instructure, which operates Canvas for all Washington community and technical colleges (CTCs). This breach impacts SPSCC, all of the state's CTCs, and the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC). Identifying information may have been accessed, including student names, email addresses, student ID numbers, and Canvas messages.
Canvas is currently offline. SBCTC is working with Instructure to understand what exact data was accessed and when Canvas will be restored.
At this time:
- Canvas is currently down and experiencing a national outage.
- No other SPSCC systems are experiencing a cyber incident.
- Do not attempt to log into Canvas until you hear directly from SPSCC.
- Please be alert to unexpected emails, text messages, or phone calls that ask for personal information or that direct you to log in.
- If you receive a message that looks suspicious, do not click links in it; contact helpdesk@spscc.edu
We will share additional information as confirmed details become available.
