On Monday, Instructure posted an update about last week's security breach.

"We know that concerns about the potential publication of data related to this incident remain top of mind for many customers. We understand how unsettling situations like this can be, and protecting our community remains our top priority. With that responsibility in mind, Instructure reached an agreement with the unauthorized actor involved in this incident," the company's website said.

According to Instructure's website, all data was returned, along with evidence that the attackers destroyed the data they possessed, as shown in shred logs. Part of the agreement also states that no Instructure customers will be extorted, and the attackers do not need to be contacted by customers to keep their data safe.

Instructure is planning to host a webinar meeting on May 13 to discuss the security breach and how to prevent cyber attacks in the future. Further information can be found on their website dedicated to updating the public about this recent cyber-attack.

Although Instructure has outlined the terms of their agreement with the hackers, BYU-Idaho IT Operations Manager Mary Jo Huntsman still encourages students to be cautious.

"Our recommendation is that students, faculty, and staff continue to be cautious with any unexpected emails, messages, or login prompts. If something seems suspicious, it’s best not to click links or provide information until it has been verified," Huntsman said.

Huntsman encouraged students to report any suspicious communications to the IT office.

"Staying alert and reporting suspicious activity continues to be one of the most effective ways to keep our systems and users safe," she explained.

The IT department has more information on scams and how to report them on their website.
