MyDoom Windows Worm DDoSing SCO

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the now-thats-just-not-cool dept.

We mentioned the myDoom Worm just a few hours ago, but more information is available now, mainly that its ultimate goal is apparently to DDoS SCO. You can see some more detail at NetCraft. Obviously SCO has a lot of enemies out there right now, but it's always sad to watch someone stoop to this level.

    No, it's called `rise to the challenge`. It'll have no effect on the lawsuits, and if it pissed SCO off and causes them some trouble, then good.

    Speak for yourself. I'm quite glad someone's done this. I only hope the cutoff date for mid febury is only the date the virus stops spreading, and not the date it stops ddosing.

    THANK YOU VIRUS WRITER GUY I ADMIRE YOU

    Just goes to show that a large part of the linux "community" is made up of criminals and anarchists. This is exactly why businesses need to be wary of linux.

    Take your childish insults back to the kindergarden you spend most of your days in, Jacko. And don't forget to pay your $699 either.

    Umm, just off the cuff, a list of nutbags (and their sort of associated causes) in no particular order:
    • Rush Limbaugh (conservative republicans)
    • PETA (animal lovers)
    • Greenpeace (environmentalists)
    • ELF (environmentalists)
    • Jim Baker, Jimmy Swaggart, etc ("religious leaders")
    • The guys running in front of the bulls...
    Ok ok, maybe not the last one.....

    I think you meant The Israelis, who bulldozes homes (and American students), erects Nazi-era walls, uses journalists as target practice, violates UN charters, and slaughters thousands of innocent Palestinians daily.
