hacktivists (Anon VS Westboro)

[teh_blumchenkinder]

"A group of hacktivists acting under the banner, "Anonymous," has warned a church with a controversial history that unspoken retribution will follow it continues its practice of inflammatory protests.

In an open letter to the Westboro Baptist Church, Anonymous has put the anti-gay, fundamentalist church on notice that "the damage incurred will be irreversible," and that "neither your institution nor your congregation will ever be able to fully recover.""

I like the sound of this so far... do continue. :3
(mwhaha)
they even got the 'lack of Christ-like attributes' right! Finally.
EDITEDIT: read the comments, some are gold, like the dude who obviously thinks Anon is an actual group, not anarchy...

It's a fake.

Westboro Baptist Church was basically fishing for people to try to hack their website so that they could then sue.

I will be VERY surprised if that isn't considered to be entrapment.

*Pouts* My opinion of this 'church' is better suited to Fratching, but I was hoping to see them being taught a lesson. I loved the latest press release though, very well done!

[teh_blumchenkinder]

Sue whom? Please, oh please Anon... pleeeeeeeeeeeze?
EDIT: ... ... aw yeah.

Well crap. Should've known it was too good to be true.

Entrapment only applies to government agents.

I believe the Cult O' Fred is the ONLY exception to the rule, per Rapscallion himself. It would not be out of place to say that Fred is a monster and that the rest of his followers are brainwashed sycophants. I'm just waiting for the day when Child Protective Services of the state of Kansas has sufficient cause to swoop in and remove the kids from that awful environment.

Daring anon to take you down? Real Smart, not that we really needed proof of their lack of intelligence.

The weird thing is that WBC thought they could go up against a group of experienced hackers. Have you SEEN their websites? The fact that they look like they were thrown together by a teenager is because they were.

I haven't been there myself in many a year, but I've seen better websites on Geocities. I thought about someone whose skills didn't go much beyond dancing GIFs deciding that he had sufficient leet-skillz to go against the people who destroyed HBGary and took on MasterCard and PayPal. Bank of America is still having a bird. If they decided to go after this tiny cult, it'd be like sand-blasting a soda cracker. For all the press they get, the WBC is astonishingly powerless.

Love, Who?

[teh_blumchenkinder]

well put Ben!

I really don't like Anon, but daring them to mess with you is like lighting an explosive and standing right next to it: you will be f-ed up hardcore.
