Ubuntu servers were hacker's zombies
Ubuntu software maker - Cannonical had to shut down five of the eight of its servers after receiving reports that they were attacking other servers. (i.e. they are zombied by hackers)..
With the offending servers out of action, Cannonical called for probation reports and found that the servers had a variety of problems.
Not only had the servers not been taking their security patches, which tends to make most servers a bit aggressive. There was a marked disparity between themselves and other posher servers.
A Cannonical spokesman said that it was not surprising that the servers were feeling disaffected and socially isolated. While other servers in the Linux world are regularly upgraded they had missed out because there were problems finding drivers for the network cards. (I can't belive in it ;) network cards is the hackers! LOL :)
