Yesterday, City Council unanimously approved a new ordinance to help protect San Antonians from cryptocurrency scams tied to Bitcoin Teller Machines (BTMs) and Crypto ATMs. 👏
This action follows a 3-signature memo led by Councilwoman Teri Castillo alongside Councilmembers Marina Alderete Gavito (D7), Misty Spears (D9), and Marc Whyte (D10) calling for a special session on digital asset fraud prevention.
As scams continue to target seniors and working families, San Antonio is taking proactive steps to keep our community informed, protected, and safe. 🩵

We are aware of the reported Canvas security incident, which is affecting educational institutions nationwide and globally. Access to Canvas in SAISD has been temporarily disabled out of an abundance of caution while we assess any potential impact to our district systems and data.

Our district accesses Canvas through our secure application portal, which limits the information shared for authentication purposes; however, we are conducting a thorough review to fully assess any potential exposure.

Our technology team is working diligently to evaluate the situation and will restore access as soon as we are confident it is appropriate to do so safely. Students will not be penalized for work in Canvas while the platform is not accessible.

Estamos al tanto del incidente de seguridad en Canvas del que se ha informado y que está afectando a instituciones educativas tanto a nivel nacional como internacional. El acceso a Canvas se ha desactivado temporalmente por precaución, mientras evaluamos cualquier posible impacto en los sistemas y los datos de nuestro distrito.

Nuestro distrito accede a Canvas a través de nuestro portal de aplicaciones seguro, que limita la información que se comparte con fines de autenticación; no obstante, estamos llevando a cabo una revisión exhaustiva para evaluar en profundidad cualquier posible riesgo de exposición.

Nuestro departamento de informática está trabajando con diligencia para evaluar la situación y restablecerá el acceso tan pronto como consideremos que es seguro hacerlo. No se penalizará a los estudiantes por el trabajo realizado en Canvas mientras no se pueda acceder a la plataforma.
