Ubuntu is one of the most used distros in both desktop and server environments. Take down the update servers, can’t patch CopyFail. Can’t patch CopyFail, more time to access affected systems.

That’s my paranoid take anyway.

I could update Ubuntu servers despite the DDoS.

Does Ubuntu, like Debian, make you choose a repository mirror during the installation?

Typically they use archive.ubuntu.com, which was not affected.
