SCO blames ISPs for blocking access to web site
SCO's spokesperson Blake Stowell blamed ISPs around the world for blocking access to SCO's web site. SCO says their web site bandwidth is at normal levels. According to SCO the attack is not schedule to begin until Sunday at 1609 GMT. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_world_business/view/68946/1/.html So much for spin-control. If you thought you were helping SCO, it appears SCO doesn't want your help.

I would have to say that if I would have a website which some malicious person put in their worm/ddos code, and providers start to block my traffic, the writer would get what he wanted in the first place, right? There are just too many people who run when somebody cries "Wolf!!!" without engaging their brain first. Pete
Wolf was real; Boy was a bad boy; Now he is dead, not because he was eaten by the wolf, but because he decided to hide under the water and suffocate -:) Grand humor! -:) PS. I do not see this virus in our networks (except may be East Europe where I can not see exact data, but I can see traffic bursts), but I can see some ISP/ISP connections disrupted (packet loss etc...). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen J.
