Anonymous to March on DC on Guy Fawkes Day

Flyers began appearing around downtown D.C. over the weekend advertising the “Million Mask March,” which will take place on Guy Fawkes Day.

Anonymous members, when they appear in public, are known for donning masks of Guy Fawkes, who unsuccessfully tried to blow up the England’s House of Lords on Nov. 5, 1605, and restore Catholicism to England.

Anonymous hackers often target large governments and companies who oppose their interests with malicious cyber attacks.
