The University of Illinois at Champaign has postponed its finals, originally scheduled for this weekend, due to a widespread international cyber-attack targeting the learning platform Canvas.

In a statement released Friday evening, the university provided an update on the situation. “The team at Technology Services has received promising news: a connection to Canvas has been restored, allowing us to start assessing whether the platform can be safely reinstated for our students, faculty, and staff. By midday Saturday, we hope to determine that continued use does not pose any undue risk to our university community and their data,” the update read.
