SCO press release on DDOS attack
According to tcptraceroutes I've done, their ISP is doing the blocking of packets going to www.sco.com at their border routers (the ones which interconnect with other ISPs). This could indicate a DDOS prevention exercise on the part of their ISP (XO Communications).
The reasoning behind doing this is that the ISP will have a bigger pipe to the outside world, and will be able to take the DDOS hit more easily than the DDOS'd customer's pipe could.
