More than half of Ubuntu’s production servers had to be pulled offline after a security breach caused those servers to actively attack other machines.
According to a notice in the Ubuntu weekly newsletter, 5 of the 8 servers that are loco hosted had to be shut down after an investigation showed a variety of security problems.
The servers were found to be missing security patches, using insecure protocols (FTP without SSL) to access the machines and without upgrades past breezy due to problems with the network cards and later kernels.
“The situation has become untenable,” Ubuntu’s Jono Bacon said in an e-mail outlining changes to the loco server policy.
