SCO press release on DDOS attack

www.sco.com is still unreachable (by me anyway), but ftp.sco.com comes up lickety-split - the IP addresses of the two are on the same subnet, one address apart (.12 and .13). Doesn't sound to me like a 'bandwidth consuming' DDoS attack.

And how do they let any purported DDoS attack on their web site disrupt their intranet??? What kind of morons would they have to be to architect that kind of co-dependency???

SCO press release on DDOS attack

yes, and the mail server is up, too.

sco.com. 21600 IN MX 10 mail.ut.caldera.com.

Connected to mail.ut.caldera.com.
220 mail.ut.caldera.com ESMTP

so i hope they dont try to claim that their external communication was affected, too.
