The hacktivist group Anonymous celebrated the fifth of November (Guy Fawkes Day) through protest marches, defacing websites, and releasing the credit card information of law enforcement officers.
The British holiday Guy Fawkes Day was popularized in the 2005 film "V for Vendetta", where a mask-wearing outcast overthrows a future totalitarian society. The holiday commemorates an actual historical event, where Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the British House of Lords in 1605.

I refuse to use douchebag hipster euphemisms like “hacktivist”, “Anonymous” as an organization, or "Occupy" as a movement. They are socialist-anarchist thugs and need to be identified as such. Bet they all work on hipster douchebag food trucks or engaging in "social media" for a living.

V for Vendetta was written in the mid-1980s as a bit of British agit-prop socio-fantasy against the era of Reagan-Thatcher. The followers don’t have their panties in a wad over 1605.

I don’t know why these small time criminals think they can’t be found and dealt with. Sooner or later they are going to run afoul of the mob...and some of the hackers are going to meet with tragic “accidents.”

One can only hope it is sooner rather than later.

I think that these people are missing the whole point of Guy Fawkes day. It isn't that he plotted to blow up King James I and the House of Lords, but that he was caught and executed before he could do so. It would be as if we had a holiday celebrating the capture of John Wilkes Booth.
I think it was been only recently that Guy Fawkes has been regarded as a freedom fighter, thanks mainly to the graphic novel V for Vendetta, and the movie made from it.
