A fragment of the above-mentioned video goes: “Two weeks ago today, a line was crossed. Two weeks ago today, Aaron Swartz was killed; killed because he faced an impossible choice; killed because he was forced into playing a game he could not win, a twisted and distorted perversion of justice.”
The case against Swartz was expected to be brought to court in early February, and he could be sentenced to over 30 years in jail. It’s likely that his suicide could be called forth by the prospect of such severe prosecution. After Swartz’s death, his family informed the public of significant prosecutorial pressure that had been in place.
Anonymous named their attack “Operation Last Resort”. According to the information posted online presumably by the Anonymous activists, the attack was due midnight. On Saturday, the U.S. Sentencing Commission’s website went offline, most likely resulting from a massive DDoS attack. Shortly afterwards there appeared a warning message on the site’s front page, as well as the video we have already touched upon. As of now, USSC.gov is offline again.

And last but certainly not least, part of the Anonymous’ message says: “Not this time. This time there will be change, or there will be chaos…” Sounds pretty menacing, doesn’t it? Anyway, time will tell what these guys are up to.
