This is an update on the Instructure hack with a focus on media questions and the company's response. Overall it's... not good. Instructure obviously wants to limit the bad publicity, but are doing so in a way that keeps the people impacted less informed. This, at least, according to Phil Hill. "The scale of the breach has not been publicly acknowledged. The academic continuity framing is being articulated by everyone except the company at the center of it. Higher ed's trade press is being deflected to a static page. Direct questions about the most material aspect of the resolution are going unanswered."
