Ubuntu removes 23.10 install media due to malicious translation |
|
Shortly after the release of Ubuntu 23.10 the ISO files for Ubuntu and Ubuntu Budgie were taken down. The reason was a series of translations which introduced hate speech into the install media. "Shortly after release we identified hate speech from a malicious contributor in a specific set of translations of the Ubuntu Desktop installer UI and have taken immediate action. These translations are being removed and an updated ISO will be available to download once we have replaced the offending material. It is important to note that these translations are not part of the Ubuntu Archive and we believe the incident is contained only to translations provided via a third party translation tool we use for a subset of applications. The affected images that have been removed are Ubuntu Desktop 23.10, Ubuntu Budgie 23.10 and the Ubuntu Desktop daily images." According to the announcement, new install media will be provided in the coming days. |
