Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\n Two days after a cybersecurity incident took Canvas offline, the system has been restored with limited functionality as recovery efforts continue, according to an email from Indiana University\u2019s Information Technology Services on Sunday morning.
\n\u201cWe recognize the disruption this outage caused during a critical academic period,\u201d UITS said in the email. \u201cWe appreciate your patience and flexibility as our teams work to restore service as safely and quickly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canvas went down around 4 p.m. Thursday, before the last day of final exams week, after a cybercrime group named ShinyHunters claimed responsibility for breaching Instructure, the company that operates Canvas. The group allegedly first hacked Instructure on May 1, also affecting up to nearly 9,000 schools worldwide, according to The Associated Press.
\nIn a Friday email, UITS told students to stay in touch with instructors while the university prioritized restoring service \u201cwhile also protecting IU\u2019s data security.\u201d Canvas access was suspended as the vendor and law enforcement worked to resolve the issue.
\nNow, all courses and files are now accessible for students, though some integrated tools, including eText tools, Google Assignments and Kaltura, remain limited. Students may experience continued issues or unavailable features, and they can view what is available at status.iu.edu.
\nAdditional resources are available on IU\u2019s Keep Learning website, which will be updated as recovery progresses. IU Bloomington students enrolled in summer courses, which will begin May 12, should monitor their university email for updates from instructors.
\nCourses, files and gradebooks have been restored for faculty.
\nThe IU Keep Teaching website includes guidance and support resources, including information on submitting grades. Faculty with students who have outstanding spring semester assignments or exams are asked to contact them directly with course-specific guidance.<\/p>\n

IU also urged students and faculty to stay alert for phishing attempts and report suspicious activity.<\/p>\n

USDA activity started Friday, and the timeline is unclear.<\/p>\n
