Many students around the world had problems with their schoolwork recently. A big company called Instructure uses a platform named Canvas. Hackers attacked Canvas with a "ransomware" attack. This is a type of cyberattack where criminals steal data and ask for money. Because of this, the Canvas system did not work for one week. Many students could not log in to their accounts. This caused many students to miss their assignment deadlines.
Instructure said they reached an agreement with the hackers to fix the problem. Many experts say that companies should not pay hackers. They say that paying money might encourage more attacks in the future. This is a very difficult problem for big technology companies today.
At the same time, Apple is working on new technology. Apple wants to be a leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI). They want to use privacy to win more customers. In the future, a new version of Siri will arrive with iOS 27. This new Siri will act like a chatbot. It will be able to have long conversations with users.
Because Siri will talk about many things, users might worry about their privacy. To help with this, Apple is making a new feature. This feature will allow users to auto-delete their chat history. The system will automatically delete old messages so that no personal information stays on the phone. Apple hopes this will make users feel safe. In our digital world, protecting personal data is very important.
