It’s not often you hear a rousing cheer and well done from the general community to a group of hackers, but that's what happened recently when Anonymous, the powerful online activist group and website infiltrators took direct action against the evil Westboro Baptist Church.
The the movement, has taken down the websites of the Westboro Baptist Church, creators of the ‘God Hates Fags’ campaign, they are the group headed by Fred Phelps, who picket the funerals of US soldiers whose death the group blames on an acceptance of homosexuality by the USA.
It is alleged that the church made up previous threats to crash their websites by the group. Anonymous has taken down the main website of the church together with their other websites, including the charmingly named PriestsRapeBoys.com as well as GodHatesAmerica.com, GodHatesTheWorld.com, JewsKilledJesus.com and AmericaIsDoomed.com.
The one page of the website that does resolve contains a letter from the Anonymous group that says the church’s website has been “seized by Anonymous under section #14 of the rules of the Internet.”
The church had begun a hate campaign against Anonymous and claimed that it was under threat, something that Anonymous said was a lie and a publicity stunt.
In their posting announcing the hack, Anonymous said: “Your continued biting of the Anonymous hand, however, has earned you a swift and emotionless bitchslap, in the form of this very message. Despite having had the capability to hack your sites previously, we chose not to and instead responded maturely to your threats, but you have not respected this.
“For this unremitting display of overzealousness, we award you no points. Take this defacement as a simple
warning: go away. The world (including Anonymous) disagrees with your hateful messages, but you have the right to voice them. This does not mean you can jump onto Anonymous for attention.”The message ends with the statement: “God hates fags: assumption. Anonymous hates leeches: fact.”
Well done Anonymous!
