    …[the group] has claimed responsibility for similar DDoS attacks on the likes of eBay’s Japan and US divisions, as well as BlueSky in just the past month alone.

    Why the group is targeting London-based Canonical remains unclear and no reason was given via its Telegram channel. It is presumably because Ubuntu is one of the most popular Linux distros.

    I suspected LLM scrappers when hearing about the DDOS attack. Those are doing a continuous DDOS on many projects.

      I get not liking Canonical, but how does that justify a random Pro-Iran group DDoSing them? Did Canonical do something that specifically harmed Iranians?

            Hasn’t the UK been helping with this “war”. If so, then they are just putting pressure where they can

              Their pressure is doing nothing to stop the war then. Canonical is not the UK. They might be located in the UK, but attacking them does nothing to the UK government.

              Also, none of this has anything to do with the US attacking Iran, so I still don’t understand what that has to do with anything.

                  @BCsven @TehPers
                  I use Ubuntu because i like the easy usage… but I dislike USA/UK and Israels behaviors. So I am in the middle of nowhere. It’s always the same, none of the good projects which are fitted into a company is given away for free… we always pay with: less freedom, our data or some other useful stuff - isn’t it?
