Around 4 PM EDT today, Canvas's parent company Instructure experienced a hacking attack by ShinyHunters, a hacking and extortionist group. In their attack, they uploaded this image to Canvas explaining their intents:

This was quickly taken down by Instructure, who replaced it with a "currently undergoing scheduled maintenance" message.

In the .txt file attached to the hackers' message, they list ~1300 schools and universities whose users' sensitive data have been hacked. UNC-CH is in this list, as well as Western, ECU, and NCCU.

The sensitive data involved was comprimised in an earlier data breach that occurred on May 1st. Said data includes names, email addresses, student ID numbers, and messages sent among users. However, Instructure has found no indication that information such as passwords, dates of birth, government identifiers or financial information have been comprimised by the hackers. According to ShinyHunters, the data breach affects over 275 million people across nearly 9,000 schools (Bleeping Computer)

UNC ITS has released a short statement regarding the attack; because the last day of finals is also today, the attack should not have affected exams. It may however affect grade submissions, which are due on May 11th.

Sometimes I do this myself when I communicate more formally/explicitly, i.e. "the company to which he was partnered to". I'm aware this is strictly wrong grammatically, but I am wondering how common this is among other English speakers.
