SCO Group Web Site Attacked Again

FreeLinux writes "With not much SCO news today, it seemed that this story was needed - Reuters is reporting that, SCO is again suffering under a DDoS attack that has crippled their web site and email system since Wednesday morning. For the third time this year, the SCO Group's Web site came under attack, apparently by hackers unhappy with the company's legal threats against users of the Linux operating system. The denial-of-service attack started at 6:20 a.m. EST Wednesday and continued through the day, said Blake Stowell, spokesman for the Lindon-based company."

Is it possible like Groklaw and other suggest that SCO could be staging this attack themselves to plead to the judge for more time. I imagine they could say "those darn linux users hacked us and deleted all our evidence judge we need a 1-12 month extension to do all our research again."
