Subject: sco.com -> slow? :)

According to this report in Money magazine, SCO issued a statement this
morning saying the website was DoS'd "beyond its capacity"
http://money.cnn.com/2004/02/01/technology/mydoom.reut/index.htm

It also seems to me that if they simply removed the DNS entry, then
www.caldera.com would be functioning. However, it's also down and has been
since yesterday afternoon (when I first noticed sco.com failing).

Can anyone shed light on this, i.e. why caldera.com would be affected if the
DNS entry for sco.com were removed?

As pointed out to me by Sebastian it seems that SCO has removed the DNS
entry
for www.sco.com.
Don't know if they planned to do that from the get-go, as no other DNS
servers
that I contacted have it cached. I don't know what the original entry looked
like though.
