Uptime stats on the SCO web servers: http://uptime.netcraft.com/perf/graph?site=www.sco.com Apparently the starting "seed" email addresses for MyDoom were scraped from comp.unix.sco.misc. That's what I get for using a real email address. I've been vaporizing about 50 messages per hour on my ancient mail server. However, most are not virus attachments. They're warnings from various virus scanning firewall software informing me that I'm sending out viruses. Several replace the virus contents with various characters resulting in rather large and useless messages. It's kinda ironic that the virus scribbler would use a mess of infected Windoze machines to attack a Unix company in defense of the Linux horde. Perhaps it would have been more proper to have scribbled a Linux virus with which to attack SCO.

Confessions graciously accepted. Oh, yeah, that's it. Blame it on the new guy. > It's kinda ironic that the virus scribbler would use a mess of > infected Windoze machines to attack a Unix company in defense of the > Linux horde.

In this case, a massivelly insecure operating system with an enormous user base. > The original Jeff(tm).
