We want to provide an update regarding the nationwide Canvas data security incident.
While some colleges may have begun restoring access to Canvas, Shoreline College will continue restricting Canvas access through the weekend out of an abundance of caution while additional security reviews are completed. College leadership will reconvene on Monday morning at 8:00am to determine next steps and will provide an update shortly thereafter.
Your instructors should contact you via email with updates related to your courses, so please check your email regularly for important information.
To make sure your instructors can reach you, please make sure your email address is correct in ctcLink.
Beware of increased phishing attempts! As part of this incident, users at other colleges have reported receiving phishing emails from opportunistic “bad actors” claiming to possess personal data and demanding payment. These messages are fraudulent phishing attempts.
Please remain vigilant and keep the following guidance in mind:
- Do not click links or open attachments in suspicious emails or messages
- Do not respond to messages demanding payment or personal information
- Never share passwords, verification codes, or other sensitive information through email
If you notice any other unusual activity related to your college accounts, please submit a request for assistance to the college’s tech support team.
We understand this situation is disruptive and appreciate your patience as we work to protect student information and campus systems.
