The SCO Group's Web site and file servers are back online, after being hit by a denial-of-service attack that cut off access for almost two days.
The outage was over by 5 p.m. PST on Thursday, according to the Cooperative Association for Internet Data Analysis (CAIDA). The attack, which began flooding SCO's network with data early Wednesday morning, targeted the company's Web site first, then moved to hobble its file servers and mail servers.
The inundation of data has largely stopped, said Blake Stowell, a director of corporate communications for SCO, which has come under criticism for a legal campaign centered on Linux.
