SCO.com Defaced
A whole slew of readers wrote:"According to an Image on the SCO website they own all our code and we shall pay them all our money. (found at Heise online (german IT news). " Yes, I'm sure this will help the whole legal case; defacement has always been such a valued piece of input in court *cough*.
Very relevant for a change

That's ace. I even saw it before it was slashdotted/removed!
In case SCO ever gets around to fixing their site, a screenshot I took of the affected site is available here.
Nice of him not to use the AYCABTU line.
Though you have to admire the subtlety..
Remember, there are no stupid questions. But there are a lot of inquisitive idiots.
I am sure that person will be employed at SCO for many years to come.
All your base are belong...
Ah what I wouldn't give to see the look on there faces when they relieze this!
Course since I looked at the image, I am sure now they will try and charge me $699.00.

Earlier in the day the lead story was asking for 256billion in payments from Microsoft, as SCO had found UNIX code in all versions of Windows.
Then that disappeared, but the graphic remained.
I would have posted a mirror, but the /. affect on the SCO site is much more fun.
It's not so obvious that the website is defaced =P
I welcome our new code-owning overlords.
i cant believe they havent noticed yet maybe when the server melts /. style.:)

Why havnt sco changed the image back yet? Theyre very slow about it. Hopefully they wont be as slow when they start doing the linux support we pay them for
It's still up there. I love it. I give them about 35 mins before someone changes it.
It was kind of childish and will have zero effect on anything. Yet... it still made me laugh a little.

Actually, if you managed to kill their revenue enough from defacing like this, they would have to fire all their lawyers and hence would loose the case.

"SCO defaced their own site to discredit the Linux Community". You heard it here first.
...is what, a year late?
but it appears that they finally put their honest thoughts online :)
It's been fixed now, it's gone back to the original slogan: "We own all your code, pay us all your money."
the woman has written "hacked by reallock" ?? the name is slightly obscured.
i'm trying to give up sigs.
Changing only one image and in a way that it looks like it absolutely belongs...
all I can say is that all you other ankle-biters out there need to learn from this....
posting defacings that look like viagra adds and filled with shouts and greetZ only makes you look like a very silly child with only script-kiddie skillz.
(oh and spelling that way makes you simply look like a wanna-be)
congrats to whoever did it. they needed to make it a little more discreet to see if it would have stayed there for a week or more...

The irony is that's how they want to be. Them and Microsoft, that is. They want to own all the intellectual property out there so that all they have to do is sic a lawyer on someone and they have no choice but to settle. Sounds like someone is doing an end-run around anti-trust laws.

I wouldn't put it past SCO to "deface" their own site just to give them something to go scream in the press about. Their court cases are suffering badly and suddenly their website is "hacked", so they now conveniently have something to bash all those l33t hax0rs (who must all be running illegal copies of linux which they own) that they can hype in the press.
Damn - it won't go "Slashdotted"... ...everyone keep pressing F5 until it no longer reloads ;)
Conclusion: It's not a defacement. It's their new corperate motto.

Anyone looked at what's begin written down in the background of the image? from what you can read: h?cke? by rea??oc( so.. hacked by realloc( also notice the photoshop smear spots near the arms of the woman in the background.

What's wrong with you, man?
Right here. Silly mods put the post down to -1, though.

Looks like the site is still defaced.. maybe they should teach HTML to some lawyers and fix things up :)
Given the legal actions and PR behaviour of this company I would not be surprised if they really meant it. It is an image linked to a training, I would not put a PR stunt beyond the scope of the Smoking Crack Operations. Just my 2ct. :)
Oh, and the link ol' AC was pointing to (www.sco.com/redhat) has been de-defaced, but the mirror is here
I just got an e-mail back from Darl, thier web site wasn't hacked. It's their new marketing ploy.
And as with most hackers, (s)he left a calling card in the image. Can you spot it? The writing is on the wall, so to speak.
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
Clicking on the image takes you to their Webinar page. Maybe they could offer a piece on security?

"Yes, I'm sure this will help the whole legal case; defacement has always been such a valued piece of input in court *cough*."
Oh, yes, heavens! You assuredly are perfectly right. This foul foul deed will expose all linux users (whose characters and virtue ever so directly affect the outcome of the lawsuit--and indeed *all* lawsuits--against IBM) as fiendish hackers with no morals and baby-eating tendencies.
And no, my subject does not refer to my idiotic sarcasm just above.
What exactly does some script-kiddy's playtime have to do with linux users/opensource community/SCO vs. IBM lawsuit??? Why are you implying it is in any way relevant? Do you always make stupid and meaningless generalisations?

I'm not convinced that they did not do it themselves to counter the stock drop/bad PR from the posting of the BSD/USL settlement.
the simpathy scam has worked for them time and time again.
and don't tell me they would not do something that dishonest. they've been caught time and time again lying to everyone.
Did SCO do it to themselves? Two reasons:
1. They do think this way.
2. To look like victims in court.
I must admit I enjoyed it no matter who did it. Childish, but funny.
Professional Politicians are not the solution, they ARE the problem.
Ooo. A hacked image has been placed on the SCO website. Alert all the SCO haters of the world! (long list granted)
/.er, but deliberately and maliciously hacking their website certainly doesn't help the business hat's outlook at the open source community.
I dislike SCO's business practices as much as the next
Yes I know there probably is no corrolation between some script kiddie and the Open Source movement. It's all impressions anyway.
Free clue for the would-be SCO hackers out there: SCO makes themselves look like idiots - very well I might add. They certainly don't need your help.

I wonder if they're intentionally being slow about it, in order to make a PR claim of "millions of dollars in lost revenue."
There's no logical reason for them not to have fixed it yet, and the "not taking steps to mitigate damages" point probably applies again. (Remember when they "weren't aware" that the Linux source code could be downloaded from their servers?)

How can one tell it's defaced?
When was the last time you remembered when SCO got "owned"? It's 8:53 as of this writing... does anyone know how long it's been since the defacement has been up?
how can this be ?, an uptodate apache running on linux and yet the site is STILL defaced ? iam sure the ecommerce sites (and the repuation of OSS) that depend on nix and its "security" are most pleased with examples like this, is it any wonder buisness view linux with sceptism
Don't take SCO's actions so personally.
...searching the SCO website for the phrase 'litigious bastards'. It returns an error message: #1040 Too Many Connections.
Made me laugh, anyway.
Particularly impressive considering this from the SCO site:
Five Reasons to Choose UNIX Instead of Linux
1. SCO UNIX is a Proven, Stable and Reliable Platform
2. SCO UNIX is backed by a single, experienced vendor
3. SCO UNIX has a Committed, Well-Defined Roadmap
4. SCO UNIX is Secure
5. SCO UNIX is Legally Unencumbered
I also like the fact that all of these reasons not to choose linux are equally valid for SLES.

Security is reason #4 to pick SCO UNIX over Linux.
Does that mean sco.com runs Linux? After all, their code would never get hacked.
Instead of fingering the GNU/Linux community for alleged DDOS attacks on sco's site, and now this defacement, (I don't put any self-sabotage for seeding sympathy in potential jurors above the rat-bastards at SCO, or their employees possibly freelancing for sympathy) perhaps Joe Barr can tell us where Osama and Zarqawi are so we can wrap up the war?
And while we're on the subject, the whereabouts of Jimmy Hoffa? Was there more than one gunman in the Kennedy assassination? Are there weak keys in AES?
Anyone want to compile a list that Joe Barr can help us with?

Apparently they haven't changed it yet because their web-development department is having trouble finding the FrontPage shortcut
I'm not so sure about defacing. SCO has gone so nuts that it wouldn't surprise me if the pages were actually real new ones.

I'm suprised nobody mentioned the fake story which was inserted into the SCO homepage.
This screenshot is a mirror of the article on the SCO page.
I'd like to suggest that realloc() think about applying for a job at SCO. His attitude about other people's property, as evidenced by his crack of their site, has a lot in common with SCO's own attitude, as evidenced by their blackmailing lawsuits.
Open sco.com in 6 tabs, and sequentially refresh them all. :D
Doesn't look like the hacker used Linux - the JPEG appears to come from Photoshop! ;)

Either SCO has been hacked on seperate web servers (thescogroup.com was put up as alternative in case of DDos), they have a script that mirrors each other, or its SCO's new motto.
Take your pick.
I kinda like it being SCO's new motto. Shows their company attitude and policy imo.

Seriously. SCO would be very unlikely to do something actually funny like this. Not the story replacement, which was really kind of lame, but that brilliant graphic.
Do you see them coming up with that? And fitting it in so neatly? I don't think they'd understand that - they'd just replace their frontpage with a 'hax0red by linux geekz' page.
Damn, 9:39AM and still there... even 69 minutes after making /.
Does anyone hear that loud, rumbling sound? I think that's the avalanche of IT heads rolling down the mountain...
Well it is 9:39 EST and it looks like they finally changed it back. After over an hour.

Until it is proven who defaced the SCO site and their motive; it should be presumed that the site could have been defaced by anybody, including somebody from within SCO or even another organization that would wish to perpetuate anti-Linux FUD.

It's now 09:52 EDT, and it's been replaced by the (presumably original) "SCO Partner Webinars" image. It was fun while it lasted!

If they wanted to gain sympathy, I think they'd just pull out the power cord again. If they went for defacement, I think they'd make it a much more childish one. Do you really think that there is anybody left at SCO with a subtle bone in their bodies?
If it's a joe-job they must have gotten help from the Microsoft® marketing department. They're elite. Remember, they've been selling junk as gold for 20 years.

This defacement takes away from the very damaging info in the USL/BSD sealed settlement that was put out for the world to see. The defacement takes away from the serious legal issues that are shown by the release of the settlement - that SCO *can't* sue anyone who does not have a contract with them, and that SCOSource is useless. Linux threats are a joke. See your lawyer, and read section c.:
c. USL agrees that it shall take no action against any person who utilizes any methods and concepts in the Restricted Files which as of this date have become available to the general public by acts not attributable to the University, its employees or students. Nothing in this provision shall limit USL's rights against a third party arising out of a breach of any license agreement with USL or AT&T.
Stop cheering illegal acts and pay attention to the house of cards falling. SCO is sure to get more press out of the defacement than the effect of this clause if they have anything to say about it (and they have plenty to say). I wouldn't be suprised if this was timed intentionally (did they deface their site?) to take away from the *real* issue that came up this weekend.

Their new strategy is simple. "We own all your code" said Chris Sontag. "Pay us all your money".
Analcyst Laura Didiot of The Yankee Group recommended that any companies NOT intending to do business with The SCO Group should immediately discuss this position with their lawyers.
Open Source Advocate Eric S. Raymond was quoted as responding "Haw Haw! We don't condone that kind of behaviour at all. No, not at all."
Richard M Stallman, in a surprising departure from convention, declined to call the new strategy "GNU/Extortion". He described the process of paying money to sleazy litigious bastards as "not aligned with the ideals of a free society".
Linus Torvalds, inventor of the Linux Operating System at the core of The SCO Group's wild claims, declined to make his usual witty one-line comment. "They are supplying the punch line this time", he said.
>Yes, I'm sure this will help the whole legal case; defacement has always been such a valued piece of input in court *cough*."
It has no bearing on the case and I can't imagine why anyone would even suggest it would.
Everyone knows the legal crap that SCO is slinging.
But the story I see here NOT being written about is how did we find out about this "Change of Image" on the SCO site! I've always blown off those perl screen scraping examples were the author collects images of lawn growing. Not anymore.

How do we not know that they did it themselves to make us look bad?
You missed that he was making a joke by intentionally applying that moderation comment to SCO. Thus, you're the one who didn't understand his incredibly obvious joke. Oh well, it happens to all of us in this written medium. Don't take it too hard.
The pros and cons of this is that it reflects badly on the linux community because a fair few rebel users have decided to deface sco's web page. Alternativly is it really the linux community or could it be a conspiracy to try and blacken the linux community. There are to many questions that things like this raise and are difficult to answer but overall the security hole should now be resolved and therefore not occur again.

that it was probably SCO that defaced their own web site. The fact that the image was edited in an Adobe product (as you can tell from the comments in the JPEG file) makes that seem even more likely.
Not everything is OK.
SCO has a November 30 filing deadline in the IBM case, on the IBM counterclaims. That's tomorrow. SCO has to reply to IBM's "You violated the GPL and you can't use IBM's code in Linux any more" counterclaim. This is the day SCO has to provide legal arguments to back up their "the GPL is unconstitutional/illegal/irrelevant" claim. Which they're not going to be able to do successfully. That's not the news SCO wants heavily publicized.
So the timing here is suspiciously convenient for SCO.
Inside job?
We all have the right to bear arms right? That and keep a well regulated militia right? I say we crush SCO, rape the harddrives, and pillaged the servers! No more of this sissy ass legal debates. The government shall be slow to realize the pure insanity of SCO. WE MUST RISE UP BROTHERS AND TEAR OUT OUR ENEMIES STILL BEATING HEARTS!! Then we can all break for ice-cream.
Though I do expect that how much Darl paid for his license, is covered by a draconian non disclosure agreement, preventing you from ever revealing this information or any other arbitrary information that Sco may wish you to withold for the entire rest of your life. :D

The pop-media has been hugely pro-scox. Poor little scox, just trying to protect their valuable IP from big mean IBM. I have not seen one pop-media that really tells it like is, regarding scox's dozens of outright lies.
What the public *will* learn about is those filthy FOSS thieving hackers breaking into scox's site. Not bad enough that Linux users are stealing scox's valuable IP; they break into scox web-site just because poor little scox just tries to protect their code.

Recently we found parts of our code in almost all Microsoft(R) software. We want to bring an action against Microsoft(R) and our legal department is working on that. Parts of code found in in all Microsoft(R) products from MS-DOS(TM) 2.1 to Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) Longhorn. Currently we are checking older MS-DOS sources. It's obvious, that all while (1){ do_something; } and for (i = 0; i 16; i++) loops came from our code.

odd...
I seem to remember when there were demonstrators out in front of SCO and some of their employees went out to join the demonstration with bogus signs making it look like Linux folks condoned theft.
I wouldn't put it past SCO to deface their own website and blame it on the Linux community.
The race isn't always to the swift... but that's the way to bet!
Isn't this a little like the guy complaining somebody shaved my ugly dog's butt, and made it walk backwards???

if you own the stock... sell it. if you own a mutual fund that owns the stock... sell it.
this company is so desperate and irrelevant it's just a matter of time before the courts bitch-slap it and it's forced to go into liquidation
Get your torrents...
sco owns realloc() with all of the other stdlib functions so they must have defaced the site themselves
But alas, it probably wont happen. Regardless if SCO is a money-hungry organisation trying to rape open-source ideas and reverting them back to "ye good old days", because courts are the battlegrounds, both parties still need to play ball by the rules.
Well done boys, you've just made the stereotype of yourselves worse.

It seems that SCO.com is still mirroring the defaced image:e w/webina r_land2-1.jpg

Usual safe practice is to completely rebuild a system once it is compromised. Anyone care to comment on this not happening?
What does SCO stands for?
