"I can confirm that Canonical's web infrastructure is under a sustained, cross-border Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. Our teams are working to restore full availability to all affected services."
"The Islamic Cyber Resistance in Iraq - 313 Team claimed responsibility for the 503 errors Ubuntu's website was returning on Thursday evening, announcing via its Telegram channel that the attack was scheduled to persist for four hours."
"There is a simple way out. We have emailed you with our Session Contact ID. If you fail to reach out, we will continue our assault. You are in an awful position, don't be foolish."
"The service disruption at Ubuntu means users cannot download any versions of its distros through the usual channels, nor can they log into their Canonical accounts."
Canonical's web infrastructure is currently facing a sustained Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack initiated by the pro-Iran hacktivist group 313 Team. The attack has rendered Ubuntu's main website and several subdomains inaccessible for over 12 hours. The group has indicated a shift from hacktivism to extortion, threatening to continue the assault unless Canonical responds to their communication. Users are unable to download Ubuntu versions or access their Canonical accounts due to the ongoing disruption.
