The defaced website which usually contains sentencing guidelines for Union crimes instead exhibit a 10 - minute video and written written matter of the same content post below it . First and foremost , it retell characteristic Anonymous rage at the berth saying :
Two week ago today , a billet was cut across . Two week ago today , Aaron Swartz was killed . kill because he faced an insufferable option . Killed because he was forced into play a biz he could not acquire – a twisted and distorted sexual perversion of justice – a plot where the only winning move was not to spiel .
It also introduces a new Anonymous operation aimed at retribution . The first component of the attack consists of fairly harmless , but well - organized Twitter hashtag hijacking . The second involves the dissemination ofa “ warhead”which purportedly comprise very sensitive information about the Justice Department . The widely distributed file cabinet are locked and useless as - is , but Anonymous promise to furnish “ heavy redacted ” versions of the documents to one culture medium electrical outlet , and threaten give up the keys to the locked files as leveraging of some sort . To what accurate end is still up for grabs .
We have not take this action thinly , nor without consideration of the possible consequences . Should we be forced to reveal the trigger - headstone to this warhead , we realize that there will be collateral damage . We apprize that many who work within the DoJ system of rules consider in those precept that it has lost , corrupted , or abandoned , that they do not bear the full responsibility for the redress make by their occupation .
It is our Bob Hope that this warhead need never be detonated .
As of now , the disfiguration has been removed , but the site is still down . And so far , Anonymous has yet to supply any of the juicy bits of those document . How this will all play out is anyone ’s conjecture , but there ’s a chance it could be interesting . [ Reuters ]
