Crazy timing for a hack, ngl

This is a 3-panel reaction meme repurposing a famous scene from the sitcom Community. The first panel shows Troy (played by Donald Glover) holding pizza boxes and grinning happily, labeled 'The cyber security guy who took the day off'. The second panel cuts to Troy with a shocked, wide-eyed expression as he processes what he is seeing. The third panel reveals the interior of the apartment is completely destroyed, with fires burning on the floor, people panicking, and one person wielding a flamethrower; this scene is labeled 'Canvas Servers'. The humor comes from the joke that the Canvas learning management system (widely used by schools and universities) suffered a major hack or server outage exactly when the cybersecurity employee responsible for protecting it was away from work, leading to total chaos of the service.

Origin notes

This meme was originally shared on Reddit meme communities with the accompanying title 'Crazy timing for a hack, ngl'. It edits the widely recognized 'Troy comes home to burning apartment' meme template from the show Community, adapting it to reference a widely discussed outage/security breach of the Canvas LMS platform that occurred when relevant security staff were off duty.
