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
... but at least it was tastefully done.
If someone says he and his monkey have nothing to hide, they almost certainly do.
.. but they *do* own all your code ~~~

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.
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.
Article on NewsForge and screenshot.
"SCO defaced their own site to discredit the Linux Community". You heard it here first.
...is what, a year late?
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...
Conclusion: It's not a defacement. It's their new corperate motto.
Wanted: One witty yet thought provoking
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.
Hopefully they wont be as slow when they start doing the linux support we pay them for
When they start? I'm already getting the full service.
As a completely unbiased and disinterested observer, I bought a SCO license to see what the fuss was about. Since then NOBODY has sued me for anything, least of all for violating any code SCO might possibly have in the Linux kernel (including any Linux kernels in alternate universes). You can't argue with service like that. I'd recommend it to anyone.

SCO® OpenServer(TM) 5.0.7
A little too open it would seem.
Technology, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems.
Looks like the site is still defaced.. maybe they should teach HTML to some lawyers and fix things up :)
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.
..and sco.com is hacked. Therefore IIS is more secure :)
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.

Why do you think this is a defacemant?
It's their new business model (you insensitive clods)
I don't need a signature.
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.
I got an infallible rock that keeps tigers away. You can even see me in my webcam and I guarantee: you'll see absolutely NO tigers!!! . Only US$ 694.99 !!

Did anyone other than me not notice when this was "announced" here on Slashdot in the e17 story?
Here.
Seems not to have gotten much attention, but it show's that kiddies can't help but crow, even anonymously.
Apparently they haven't changed it yet because their web-development department is having trouble finding the FrontPage shortcut
This was covered at The Register earlier today.
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.
Sounds like the tagline for some syndicated action flick.
SCO will be around for many years to come?

I for one, am glad that they got h4x0r3d after publishing this smut.
The girl was in the original, but you couldn't tell what she was writing.
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.
I believe there is an Apache exploit involving a realloc() function. addict3d article
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?
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
