This was in protest of government plans for real-time monitoring of calls, e-mails, texts and website visits of everyone in the UK, plus also in support of Gary McKinnon and Richard O'Dwyer (http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2012/04/07/anonymous-attacks-home-office/).
The website for the United States House of Representatives (http://www.house.gov/) was attacked at the same time."
