-- From "1984" by George Orwell, British Author (1903-1950)
The Telegraph newspaper reports an army of computer hackers is planning to bring down British government websites if Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, is extradited to Sweden. He is due to appear next before City of Westminster magistrate’s court on Tuesday, where his lawyers will attempt to secure his release on bail... Bail had been denied at Assange's first hearing because although he'd surrendered voluntarily to police, that magistrate deemed the elusive Australian a potential flight risk.

The WikiLeaks database has found refuge in Stockholm, Sweden; the same country that wanted its founder arrested on sex charges.
Assange/WikiLeaks supporters have inundated the informational sites of financial businesses that have cut off contributors' donations to the controversial site. They haven't impacted the secured money transfer apparatus... It's more like jamming the lobby of the bank so nobody else can get in to read the brochures.
