"Spew" pt 2: SCO May Be Faking DDOS

I've been reading Groklaw to keep up with the sitcom that is the SCO-IBM trial. After I received a off-schedule Netcraft News email concerning a DDOS attack against SCO's websites, I went over to Groklaw to see if they (she) had anything about it. They do. The article raises the possibility that they're faking the attack. If true, I guess the ire of their customers is nothing compared to the sympathy they're trying to engender. Poor SCO.

An Eweek article on the subject has some quotes from a SCO rep.

One irony of this situation is that www.sco.com is at least partially hosted or front-ended by Linux/Apache servers.
