Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Canvas crashed on campus, students locked outside their screens
Hackers struck the learning hub, disrupting digital dreams
From Toronto to Ontario, universities went dark
While millions watched their data drift like ships without a mark

[Chorus]
Zero-day exploits are breaking through the wall
AI-powered intruders answering the call
Spyware dealers watching from the shadows down the hall
When security crumbles, education takes the fall

[Verse 2]
Windows patched on Tuesday but the barrage never ceased
Vulnerabilities sprouting like a digital disease
China-linked attackers gather secrets in the night
Trading zero-day discoveries beyond our cyber sight

[Chorus]
Zero-day exploits are breaking through the wall
AI-powered intruders answering the call
Spyware dealers watching from the shadows down the hall
When security crumbles, education takes the fall

[Verse 3]
Hours passed in silence while the platforms stayed offline
New York Times reporting on the breach across the line
WIRED called it ransomware with a dangerous new face
Malwarebytes confirming millions caught without a trace

[Bridge]
Personal information scattered to the wind
Student records compromised, where does safety begin
International networks trembling at the seams
Ransomware rewriting all our technological dreams

[Verse 4]
Professors paced their classrooms with no digital display
IT departments scrambling through another sleepless day
Backup systems failing as the malware spread its wings
While governments debated cybersecurity's broken strings

[Chorus]
Zero-day exploits are breaking through the wall
AI-powered intruders answering the call
Spyware dealers watching from the shadows down the hall
When security crumbles, education takes the fall

[Outro]
May twenty-fifth reminded us no system stands alone
Digital fortresses crumble, leaving students on their own
But from Atlantic councils to the BBC's bright glare
Cybersecurity stories float electric through the air

[Final Chorus]
Zero-day exploits are breaking through the wall
AI-powered intruders answering the call
Spyware dealers watching from the shadows down the hall
When security crumbles, education takes the fall
