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.

    This is very similar to the SETI@Home project. I'd like to try it out and run it for a while. How and where do I sign up?

    Well maybe they didn't write it, but Im sure there is some SCO code in it.

    Anyone whose computer is infected with this worm is violating our IP! You must pay $699 for a license!

    Seems like this is Linux's ultimate weapon of mass destruction because:

    Yes, it makes me very sad. Can someone hand me a hanky? I think I need some alone time to cry about this.

    I never even knew that SCO owned any ships, never mind that one of them had been boarded and plundered by pirates.
