Canadian Minister calls Anonymous a threat to all parliamentarians

Vic Toews, the Canadian Minister of Public Safety, has said all parliamentarians should be concerned about being targeted in online videos by the hacker group Anonymous. Toews was speaking before the procedure and House affairs committee, which is investigating a Youtube video featuring a group of people in masks calling themselves Anonymous. The video's creators threaten to release personal information about the minister if he doesn’t scrap a controversial online surveillance bill. The Canadian House of Commons had previously warned the committee that tracking the posters of the video would be a challenge as Anonymous was, by its very nature, a very loose hacker group open to all hackers with a message to spread. Toews has been promoting the controversial bill, and said its critics could either stand with the Conservative government or “with child pornographers.”
