Attack On SCO Servers Ends

Dec 12, 2003 5:36AM PST

The SCO Group Inc. said Friday that the denial-of-service attack that caused serious disruptions in the company's business operations had ended, and the software maker's computer systems were running normally.

The Lindon, Utah, company, severely criticized by open source groups for its legal challenge of Linux, said the attack that started early Wednesday ended between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. EST Thursday. The company had all its systems back up within two hours.

"It basically just stopped," Jeff Carlon, director of information technology infrastructure for SCO, said of the attack. "It stopped in a matter of minutes."
