This sums up apparently what has been going on all week and what is supposed to go down today around 6:00 EST. A group of hackers called Anonymous, as well as various smaller groups have been been waging small attacks against Scientology-based websites and newsgroups.
"Anonymous" releases statements outlining "War on Scientology"
The main site, www.scientology.org, was brought down for a period of time and videos have been released promising the destruction of Scientology.
I haven't been following this too closely, but I couldn't be more pleased with the situation. What are probably 18- to 30-year old guys who spell with numbers and slashes, and care only about the Linux penguin and Counterstrike, are our freedom fighters in the war against a religion/cult based on aliens and secret levels of spirituality that are only accessible through paying more. Something is out of hand here, and I'm not totally sure what it is. I just hope this doesn't drive Tom Cruise further over the edge. He might eat his child.
