But why though? Target something that would actually benefit humanity. What a bunch of fucking morons.
Maybe it’s because Ubuntu is relatively easy to take down? They wouldn’t host on a cloud provider for marketing reasons. At the same time, they just released Resolute, so there is a lot more legit traffic on their servers, which means more eyeballs.
But, yeah, definitely not a target that makes you think the Islamic Cyber Resistance in Iraq, whatever that is, has the world’s good in mind.
My guess is they want to delay updates, so they have more time to exploit vulnerabilities of systems that are overdue with updates and can’t because of the attack.
Islamic cyber resistance to what, snaps?
