Ubuntu had to shutdown 5 of 8 production servers that are sponsored by
Canonical, when they started attacking other systems. Canonical blames
the community, saying they were community hosted, and were poorly
maintained. However, kernel upgrades couldn't be done because of poor
backwards compatibility with the very hardware that Canonical had
sponsored!
While people point fingers at each other it is pretty clear that both
sides are equally to blame, the community administrators for practicing
bad security practices, such as using unencrypted FTP transfers with
accounts, not properly maintaining the system. However Canonical should
have been well aware of what they are hosting. The question remains, if
any of the files distributed to users have been compromised. A major
blow for Canonical though who are attempting to enter the business
market with Ubuntu Server.
