Since Friday, 26 October, MoneySavingExpert.com's site has been subject to a DDOS attack; a malicious web attack to try and close the site by simulating billions of users. How many people believe that big insurance companies would be capable of this because their profit base is being threatened and that too many chickens could be coming home to roost?

Too risky for them...
