Asia (remember the international date line) started on MyDoom already,
although some reports said the worm used 1609 GMT to start its attack.

SCO appears to have deleted the A record for www.sco.com from their DNS
about 1 hour ago.  I don't know how often MyDoom does the DNS lookup, so
it may not stop things.

As far as I can tell, no third-party ISP is blocking traffic to SCO.
Traceroutes by IP address continue to nearly their last upstream hop.
SCO's immediate upstream providers are probably helping.
