MyDoom Knocks Down SCO Web Site

February 2nd 2004 | General

SEATTLE/LONDON (Reuters) - The MyDoom Internet worm on Sunday knocked down the Web site of a small software company by bombarding it with a flood of data as Microsoft Corp. prepared for a similar, planned attack by the virus-like program this week. The SCO Group Inc., a software company that has drawn the ire of Linux advocates for trying to collect license fees for the freely available software system, confirmed MyDoom had knocked its Web site, http://www.sco.com, out of commission. After defending the site in the early stage of the attack, SCO shut its site down entirely.
