You have till the end of the day by 7 May 2026 before everything is leaked and there will be no chance at a negociation for anyone. Instructure has not even bothered speaking to us to understand the situation or to even negociate with us to prevent the release of this data. Our demand was not even as high as you might think it is. The Company seemingly does not care about all the students affected and the institutions impacted by this data breach. They still have by 6 May 2026 to come speak with us. There is no better option but to come to an agreement with us.
