Equifax and other companies routinely leak customers PII and financial information.

the only outcome I got from their incidents is 1 year free "identity protection service" which I didnt use.

Should be a lesson for Instructure to have proper architecture and do not store PII they dont need in their processes.

At least those are mainly going to be adults. In the case of Instructure, there are many K12 school districts using Canvas as well. They are potentially selling lists of underage children along with where they live, and contact info like email and phone number.

These are going to be people with clean credit histories to exploit, and ideal for using as ghost students.
