SCO press release on DDOS attackSCO press release on DDOS attackPosted Dec 10, 2003 21:35 UTC (Wed) by alan (guest, #4018)Parent article: SCO press release on DDOS attack "This specific type of DDoS attack, called a "syn attack," took place when several thousand servers were compromised by an unknown person to overload SCO's Web site with illegitimate Web site requests. The flood of traffic by these illegitimate requests caused the company's ISP's Internet bandwidth to be consumed so the Web site was inaccessible to any other legitimate Web user." This is unreal, if I didn't know any better I would think it came from The Onion. Unfortunately it did not.
