Blackmailers Target $1m Website
The site of a UK student who had the idea of selling pixels as advertising space has been hit by a web attack.

Alex Tew hit the headlines at the start of the year when he revealed his Million Dollar Homepage had made him a million dollars in four months.

It followed his refusal to pay a ransom.
