The SCO Group Inc.'s Web site was slammed Wednesday by a massive distributed denial-of-service attack that made the site completely unreachable for much of the day.
In addition to black-holing the Web site, the attack also affected the company's intranet, e-mail servers and customer support systems, according to a statement by the company. SCO has been the target of several similar attacks in recent months, most of which are thought to be the result of the company's involvement in controversial legal battles with IBM and the Linux community over ownership of some of the Linux source code.
