Update May 7 - 5:22 p.m.: Canvas is currently unavailable at Georgia Tech. This is a nationwide issue. Users should not attempt to engage with or respond within the Canvas system until further notice. Our teams are actively monitoring the situation and working with the vendor toward resolution. 

Additional updates and communications will be shared as more information becomes available. Visit status.gatech.edu for updates.

Update May 7 - 4:30 p.m.: Earlier today, several universities using Canvas reported that their access to the system was blocked by a ransom notice. In response, Instructure took Canvas offline.

No action needs to be taken aside from continuing to remain diligent about basic cybersecurity protections, including:

• Beware of “phishy” messages.
  Do not click links in unsolicited messages claiming to be from Canvas, or Instructure.
• Forward all suspicious messages you receive to phishing@gatech.edu. 
• Access Canvas and other websites directly. Avoid clicking links whenever possible to access online resources.

Georgia Tech will update this article and post updates at status. as we receive additional information from Instructure.
