2026 — major cyberattack amid global Canvas / Instructure crisis (May)
Unverified claim — treat actor counts cautiously. Beginning the May 2026 weekend window, the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) publicly described a major cyberattack that forced district-wide network and service disruptions affecting City, Mesa, Miramar, and related colleges.

Early reporting cited multi-terabyte theft claims circulating in broadcast summaries—Brea Exposed categories include Potentially student and workforce identifiers, email, coursework metadata, and messaging per contemporaneous news framing—awaiting formal SDCCD notification tables. No attested victim count is published for this row yet. See the san-diego-community-college-district-can and canonical BreachHistory entry.
