According to eTechnix, some low-life is doing the rounds of UK e-tailers. It was two of OCUK's competitors yesterday.

it was three competitors and one of them:

told CRN the firm's website went down yesterday afternoon for a couple of hours as hackers sent an email demanding the payment of 16.66 Bitcoins (£2,871.43), otherwise they would try to bring the site down for the whole of Wednesday.

One of them has put up a £15,000 reward for information leading to the successful prosecution of the individual or group behind an ongoing distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.
