Betelgeuse Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 The SCO Group, which has been the target of intense criticism by open source groups angry over the company's legal challenge of Linux, was struck Wednesday by a large-scale denial-of-service attack that brought down the software maker's web site. No suspects have been identified in the Internet-based assault that began at 4:20 a.m. MST. The Lindon, Utah, company's web site remained unavailable as of 6 p.m. MST. Besides its web site, the attack brought down the SCO's e-mail system, corporate intranet and customer support operations, the company said.
