SCO has moved its Internet operations to the domain www.thescogroup.com in response to the denial of service attack generated by the MyDoom worm against its regular base of operations, www.sco.com.
The alternate Web site is expected to serve as an interim site for SCO until 12 February, when the DDoS attack generated by the MyDoom is expected to conclude.
Netcraft reports that www.thescogroup.com resolves to the same IP address as sco.com, one of a variety of SCO web sites that remains in operation despite the MyDoom assault.
