Maybe it's because Ubuntu is relatively easy to take down? They wouldn't host on a cloud provider for marketing reasons. At the same time, they just released Resolute, so there is a lot more legit traffic on their servers, which means more eyeballs.

But, yeah, definitely not a target that makes you think the Islamic Cyber Resistance in Iraq, whatever that is, has the world's good in mind.
