SCO falls victim to DDoS attack
Thursday, 11 December 2003

I'd personally say that this falls into the "serves-you-right" category. A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on the SCO website rendered it unreachable for most of the day yesterday. Interestingly, the attack began at 4:20am on Wednesday :)

"The specific type of distributed denial of service attack, called a "syn attack," was caused by someone commandeering several thousand servers and having them overload SCO's site with illegitimate web site requests."

Heheheheheee... I mean.... that's just terrible. Full story here.
