Security Experts Doubt SCO Was Attacked

Dec 11, 2003 2:58AM PST

Groklaw's Pamela Jones reports that security experts are telling Groklaw that SCO's Web site shouldn't have been knocked out by the Denial of Service (DoS)SCO describes and wonder if SCO was DoSed at all.

SCO has reported that they are experiencing an attack on their servers. Groklaw has been flooded with information that indicates their story doesn't add up.

The consensus of what I am hearing is: That it is probably not an attack. That their description of the "attack" makes no sense. And that if what they are saying were true, SCO would be admitting to gross negligence.
