The Iowa Department of Education reported minimal impacts following a recent cyberattack on the Canvas program, which manages grades and assignments for universities and school districts in Iowa. An estimated 30 million students worldwide were affected by the attack, but access to Canvas has been restored. The Department of Education, which uses Canvas for educator courses, was notified of the incident but does not oversee contracts with Iowa schools or universities. Officials confirmed that personal data for the Educational Services for the Blind and Visually Impaired was not compromised during the cyberattack.
