I would agree with "vault 7 level panic". If you are to believe the Assange kidnap story, when the proof of life thing started, they shut down the Internet there too, including mobile networks. Edit: Amazon cloud doesn't just go offline. Unpossible.

Probably either a botnet of truly biblical proportions or the NSA coming to look for potential Dead Man's Switch caches on their racks. That is to say, collections of heavily encrypted data that, if not sent a signal relative to time perimeters, decrypts and activates, sending info to Wikileaks, a trusted party that'll spread it, or otherwise. If I was privy to something illicit in the government Snowden style, I'd probably put it in a similar system for fear of my own safety and brag about its existence where the NSA would see me say it, so if they were onto me, they'd know they couldn't kill me without their secrets getting out.

Of course, I don't know shit, and if I did, I'd probably be so piss-myself-and-die scared that I'd keep my head down or kill myself. Right now, I can tell myself that its not as bad as it seems, but deep down inside, I bet it's worse, and whatever is going on, I doubt I could live with knowing its happening and there's nothing I can do.
