    NEW: Hackers have taken down the infrastructure of the Linux-based operating system Ubuntu, and some of its websites.

    We verified that updates fail, and developers said the outage is affecting some APIs too.

    A group of hacktivists claimed responsibility, saying they used a DDoS-for-hire service.

    A group of hacktivists have claimed responsibility for a distributed denial-of-service attack, which has affected several Ubuntu and Canonical websites, and prevented users from updating the Linux-based operating system.

        @jgg @lorenzofb On the flip side, it means Ubuntu matters enough to be taken down.

          "The *Islamic Cyber Resistance in Iraq 313 Team* claimed on its Telegram channel that it was to blame for the DDoS attack." I think they spelled MOSAD wrong.

          Seriously though, if they are using a DDOS-for-hire service. How can they be described as 'hackers'?
