Early Wednesday morning, The SCO Group's web server was allegedly
attacked in a SYN flood DDoS attack.
SCO made a press release about it, and their stock price went up.
(I'm really curious what goes on inside the mind of a day trader...)
Some people didn't believe the DDoS was real. This Groklaw article is
the focus point for that viewpoint.

Today, CAIDA published an article stating that they did indeed see a
backscatter effect from SCO's DDoS on their Network Telescope.

So it appears that the DDoS was real.
(BTW, check out this totally cool movie from CAIDA.)
