hackers deface sco site

[Red Squirrel]

In a hack that began sometime before 5:30 a.m. PST Monday, someone placed a graphic atop SCO's home page that read "we own all your code" and "pay us all your money." The spoof used the same fonts and colors employed throughout the company's site, along with a copy of the software maker's official logo. By 8:30 a.m. PST, the altered graphic had been removed. Monday's hack is the latest in a string of attacks launched against SCO. Earlier this year, the company watched helplessly as a variant of the MyDoom computer virus crippled its site, forcing SCO to resort to an alternate Web address. MyDoom, which is estimated to have infected hundreds of thousands of computers around the world, inundated the Internet with requests for SCO's site, resulting in a denial-of-service attack.

Good stuff that's for sure. I say they should of kept the graphic there, it went well with the site, and the company.

You may disagree with SCO, you may write an anti-SCO opera, but you should not resort to hacking the SCO Web site.

It's ok, it's called hackivism. And in this case it was very well used.

I don't see the point of sco though, they should just die and give it up. It would be like microsoft claiming google is their code, in hopes they can make people believe them.

I agree, it only makes the open source community look worse. Gotta keep in mind, in court cases, PR always matters.
