The recent Canvas LMS cyberattack is a reminder that attackers rarely stop after the first breach. After claiming to steal data from thousands of schools, hackers reportedly returned to deface school login pages in an effort to pressure victims into paying a ransom.

Organizations need to prepare for “comeback attacks” after an initial security incident.

Here are a few important steps schools and businesses should take immediately after a breach:

🔑 Reset privileged credentials
🛡️ Revalidate SSO and MFA configurations
🎣 Increase phishing awareness because attackers may use stolen emails and messages for follow up attacks
🔍 Audit third party integrations and dormant accounts
📊 Enable continuous monitoring and anomaly detection
⚠️ Patch vulnerabilities quickly and verify remediation actually worked
📢 Communicate transparently with users about potential phishing risks

Hackers often return when they believe defenses are weak or incident response is incomplete. Recovery is not just restoring systems, it is validating trust across your environment.

Cybersecurity awareness and rapid response matter more than ever. Try HacWare.com today!

👤 Users that take part in weekly phishing simulation tests are nearly three times more effective in reducing risk than users participating in quarterly tests or less frequent testing.

🎣 HacWare’s phishing simulations can be set to your preferred cadence for every client.

🗓 Weekly simulations can be sent to your client’s end users throughout the week, targeting moments of susceptibility and building their users into their first line of defense against cyber attacks.
