SCO and Defacement

That the defacement has occured is old news.

That it appears (to me, via my browser, at the time of writing ie: 1839h today) still extant more than six-and-a-half-hours after hitting the front page of [www.theregister.co.uk] – to me, this does not bode well for the company.

I personally feel that such operational slackness may reflect the death-throes of the organisation.

Certainly, were I the CEO, if such a situation persisted past the 60 minute mark I would be demanding peoples’ heads on pikes.

    Either you had things cached, or were in a different timezone – I saw it from about 10am until about 3pm.

    The baffling thing is that they must surely have been oblivious; if they’d been aware of the defacement, then presumably they could and should at least have pulled the plug until they had things fixed!

    Thing is that SCO has a vested interest in portraying themselves as the victims, and one way to do that is to show off to everyone that you’ve been hurt.

    I’m waiting for the press release saying “Look what those nasty communist Linux kernel hackers have done to our website”. They’ll probably ignore the fact the image was apparently created under Windows in Adobe Photoshop (according to comments on LWN).

    It is, of course, pure irony that Google have cached the other compromise of SCOs website, search for SCO hacked and it’s the first hit..
