Even Ubisoft has joked about Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced being “gaming’s worst kept secret” following leak after leak. Much like the Age of Piracy in Black…

Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, has confirmed that services are back up and running following a major DDoS attack that left some of its infrastructure, including websites and repos, unavailable for five days.
