Important Reminder – Stay Vigilant Against Phishing Following incidents like this, it is common to see an increase in phishing emails that attempt to take advantage of heightened concern. Please remain cautious of unsolicited messages claiming to be related to the Canvas outage or requesting account verification. Edgewood University will never ask you to provide your password, approve a multi-factor authentication (MFA) request you did not initiate, or share other sensitive personal information via email. Be especially wary of messages that: • Urge immediate action or create a sense of urgency • Ask you to click links to “restore access” or “verify your account” • Job Offers or selling items unsolicited • Come from external or unusual email addresses, even if they appear to be from a trusted source If you receive a suspicious message, do not click links or open attachments. Instead, report it to the Technology Assistance Center or use the Phish Alert Report available in Outlook. We will share additional information as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience and understanding. ____________________________________ Technology Assistance Center SysNet Operations Office of Information Technology 608-663-6900 | edgewood.edu Nationwide Canvas Outage https://status.edgewood.edu/incident/891079 Thu, 07 May 2026 21:25:00 -0000 https://status.edgewood.edu/incident/891079#bfd507610746e9c0f33f777fc5ec7b797d02aa1e04956ead1aae706843174d28 Greetings Campus Community, At approximately 3:30 p.m., Edgewood University was impacted by a nationwide Canvas outage.
