The company hosting the Million Dollar Homepage says an electronic
attack was responsible for the extended outages earlier today. The
distributed denial of service (DDoS) occurred as college student Alex
Tew sold the final 1,000 pixels if his innovative ad service in an
eBay auction for $38,100. The attack left the
milliondollarhomepage.com site unreachable for large portions of the
day, as seen in a performance chart for the site.


Someone is mad that they didn't think of it first.
