We have have a serious problem with the abuse of our networks by both state and civilian actors. Cyberwarfare and psyops is a big part of the massive war campaign in the USA.
It's really a serious shame that the main install repository from the most popular distribution for machine learning (it is part of the default stack for Google's TensorFlow, along with Python/Nvidia) doesn't have basic system integrity. I can understand that it might be more expensive to bother with an HTTPS server for the bulk download and that the certicate authorities have been compromised in the past. Nonetheless, not having the MD5 and SH5 hashes on a verified HTTPS connection is just recklessly, lazy security. I know Canonical has deep roots in security, and I'm just an ignoramus. But seriously, it doesn't make sense that the initial install is the perfect target for any abusive cyberops Freedom Center. I know you guys in South Africa must feel like, But we ARE the establishment, what do WE have to fear. There is no punishment for dissent. In the USA, things are more controversial, and numerous factions tend to abuse power much like in communist states. Could we please have secure install images? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1359836 Title: Ubuntu ISOs downloaded insecurely, over HTTP rather than HTTPS To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1359836/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
