Reportado por IA

La cuenta oficial de Twitter de Ubuntu publicó un tuit, ya eliminado, que promocionaba un agente de IA falso el cual redirigía a los usuarios a una estafa de criptomonedas. El incidente sigue a un ataque DDoS de cinco días contra los servicios web de Canonical que finalizó a principios de este mes.

El tuit, que apareció pocas horas antes de su publicación el 7 de mayo, anunciaba un agente de IA llamado Numbat construido sobre la cadena de bloques Solana. Utilizaba la marca Ubuntu, incluidas referencias al nombre en clave Noble Numbat para Ubuntu 24.04, y enlazaba al sitio ai-ubuntu.com. La página imitaba fielmente el diseño de Canonical y solicitaba a los visitantes que conectaran una billetera de criptomonedas tras hacer clic en botones etiquetados como Comprobar elegibilidad o Explorar Ubuntu AI.
