Those trying to access the Ubuntu website, ISO downloads, and similar Ubuntu resources today are finding the site inoperable amid what's now confirmed as an ongoing distributed denial of service attack.

Unfortunately, Ubuntu is once again facing a distributed denial of service "DDoS" attack against its web infrastructure. This isn't the first time they have experienced this issue and Canonical's IT team is currently working to mitigate the attack.

Ubuntu down

The Canonical status page is currently tracking the incident. Confirmation of the Ubuntu DDoS attack was also posted to the Ubuntu Discourse.

"Ubuntu currently suffering" karma

Why?

I can think of a few reasons ppl would enjoy the schadenfreude of Ubuntu with their uptime in a vice, but which one are we talking about here?

Definite misnomer for the corpo ai distro, maybe they should rename themselves to mcwindos or mcaihole, or similar?

Because they're a popular distro from a comparatively small company, so people who want to attack things rather than build things see them as an easy target?
