I could be wrong, as this is purely a conceptual reason, but there are so many emergings computer professionals learning and testing ubuntu that they would probably notice most security threats. Now, we must define what a security threat actually is, because traditional is "prove it's you" but modern is "I don't want them to know anything about me"
So, I will say ubuntu is really secure in both dimensions, but the "prove it's you" method is probably a better way to approach the internet.
Personally, I consider anything online to be public. But there are various levels of access to public information depending on the individual doing the investigation. Additionally, priviacy has deteriorated to such an extent in this modern Earth that the only sane way to go online is to assume you are a public personality in the internet medium.
One would think their creative work would be private, but in this day the FBI can come into your house and steal your novel, legally. So, in the current political environment THERE IS NO PRIVACY.
