Anonymous launches Operation Unity against budget cuts in UK
Exhorts activists to come out on streets on 15 October at Hyde Park to demand participatory democracy
Online hacktivist group Anonymous has urged activists, artists, musicians and other people to gather at Hyde Park on 15 October to take part in "Operation Unity", a protest against cuts to public services and to demand for "participatory" democracy.
The hacker group -- infamous for their attacks against Visa, Mastercard, Sony and The Sun - shot into limelight late last year after it brought down the services of Visa and Mastercard against the decision to block payment access to whistleblower and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Anonymous has then been associated with a series of high profile targets this year including the one on the British tabloid The Sun. However, the group have kept a low profile after authorities around the world started tracking and hunting the group members in a coordinated action.
