It's all of Canvas folks. Everywhere. Every college that uses it and every k-12 that uses it.

According to Reddit sources - take as you will:

The hackers were booted out of the system after they started the breach on May 1st, and they came back today. They started in a North Carolina school district, and when that was successful, they went nationwide.
