Three individuals who identify themselves as members of the loosely associated hacktivist group Anonymous, hung posters and delivered a cake to the Milton home of U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz on Saturday, March 9.
According to http://kineticblog.weebly.com/op-angel-boston.html the action was part of Op Angel Boston, a movement to have Ortiz fired over her handling of the Aaron Swartz case.
Swartz, a 26-year-old computer programer who developed the web feed format RSS, committed suicide in January 2013. Swartz was facing felony charges from Ortiz' office for allegedly accessing millions of documents in the MIT network.
The group, which police said included two Massachusetts residents and one person from New Hampshire, were wearing Guy Fawkes masks, a symbol often used by Anonymous, as they hung orange "WANTED" posters with Ortiz' picture.
Milton Police responded to the neighborhood around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Milton Deputy Police Chief Charles Paris said a cake was also left on Ortiz' property. He was unsure what the cake said, but according to the twitter account associated with the Kineticblog, the cake said "Justice for Aaron."
According to Paris, the FBI has the cake and is investigating it.
While no crimes were committed Milton Police Department, U.S. Marshals, the FBI and Secret Service are aware of the activity.
"At that point in time, there was nothing to arrest them for," Paris said, adding the group "treaded a fine line" toward intimidation.

According to Paris, the FBI has the cake and is investigating it<- LOL AND we have to pay these psychopathic moron terrorist. I was intimidated when the US Marshal threatened me with criminal federal and State harassment charges because having no phone and being disabled I emailed the Clerk of the Court to report the federal criminal violations occurring by her corrupt court staff and CORRUPT Jackson Lewis attorneys. The only result was they blocked me from a judge, fraudulently dismissed my complaint, named me a vexatious litigant, made it so I would have to pay for any appeal and then the attorneys took off for a stay at the White House to allegedly pay off the clerk of the Supreme Court and block any petition I would file in the future. Carmen Ortiz was not interested in computer crime coming from the court itself where corrupt staff steal the identity of US District and Circuit Judges so they can obstruct justice and help out corrupt VERY HIGH PRICED attorneys. AND Carmen was intimidated! http://www.scribd.com/tired_of_corruption
