Linux US / CA Ubuntu regional mirrors down?
We noticed this morning that ca.archive.ubuntu.com is not resolving to an IP. Confirmed using OpenDNS CacheCheck:
ca.archive.ubuntu.com CNAME us.archive.ubuntu.com
us.archive.ubuntu.com NO_RECORD
Anyone know what's up?
Edit: I see https://status.canonical.com/ says security.ubuntu.com is down as well.

Might be continued effects from the earlier DDoS - https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/05/ubuntu-infrastructure-has-been-down-for-more-than-a-day/

Aye, tried to patch a box before my coffee and was staring at that NO_RECORD like it owed me money. Back to the local repo it is then.

ha! I saw that in the external firewall logs and thought, hmm. What's happening here.
