The notorious hacking group ShinyHunters, recently linked to the large-scale compromise and defacement of Instructure’s Canvas LMS platform, claims its official clearnet domain has been suspended by the domain registry, fueling online speculation that the site may have been targeted following the group’s recent attacks.
