MIT’s website was hacked Sunday by online activist group Anonymous in a tribute to tech whiz Aaron Swartz, who killed himself just weeks before he was to go to trial on charges he stole files from the university, according to the Washington Post and other media reports.

The attack came hours after President L. Rafael Reif said the university would investigate how its case against Swartz was handled. Anonymous posted a call for reform of Internet law and how such cases are prosecuted.
