In response to a recently reported security incident at Instructure (Canvas) Aeries has made the decision to temporarily disable the Canvas integration for all Aeries customers effective immediately. The action is purely precautionary in response to the incident at Canvas and is being taken to protect our shared student and staff data while we monitor the situation closely. What this means for you: - The Canvas integration will be temporarily unavailable. - All data within Aeries remains secure and fully accessible. - No action is required on your part at this time. We are actively monitoring the situation and coordinating with Instructure. We will restore the integration as soon as we are confident it is safe to do so, and we will provide an update by 10:00 AM pacific on Friday, May 8th, 2026. We understand this causes disruption to your workflows and apologize for the inconvenience. If you have any questions or concerns, please submit a ticket on support.aeries.com or call us at 888.324.5363. Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in Aeries.

We are aware of an active security incident impacting Instructure's Canvas platform, which is affecting access to third-party integrations, including McGraw Hill. This issue is related to an ongoing incident within Instructure and is not the result of a compromise of McGraw Hill systems or infrastructure. We recommend customers continue to monitor the Canvas Status Page (https://status.instructure.com/) for the latest updates regarding the incident and recovery efforts. Out of an abundance of caution, we have temporarily blocked all traffic from Instructure. The McGraw Hill integration with Canvas is presently offline. Our systems remain secure and have not been compromised. Our McGraw Hill applications remain fully accessible if you wish to use them directly. https://mh.my.site.com/DTS/s/article/Temporary-Student-Passwords This article walks teachers through printing temporary passwords for students.

Title: Some users may not receive results when performing searches in SharePoint Online User impact: Users may not receive results when performing searches in SharePoint Online. Current status: Our efforts to redirect, rebalance, and optimize traffic within the subset of affected infrastructure have been unsuccessful in fully remediating impact. We're assessing our options for applying additional mitigative actions to resolve this issue and will provide a timeline for full remediation as one becomes available. Scope of impact: Some users performing searches in SharePoint Online may be impacted by this event. This section may be updated as our investigation continues. Start time: Monday, April 20, 2026, at 12:00 AM UTC Root cause: An unexpected increase in request traffic and search request queuing is causing a subset of service infrastructure that processes SharePoint Online search requests to enter a suboptimal state, resulting in impact.
