BBC NEWS | Technology | Mydoom cripples US firm's website The Mydoom e-mail worm has paralysed the website of US software firm SCO, in a massive denial of service attack. The company - which owns the source code of the Unix operating system - said the virus was "overwhelming the internet with requests to www.sco.com". Both SCO and Microsoft have offered $250,000 rewards each for help to catch the author of the worm - the fastest-spreading virus known so far. A variant of the virus is expected to attack Microsoft's site from [sic] Tuesday.
