God hates hackers

Members of Westboro Baptist Church, known for protesting at funerals of fallen U.S. service men and women, might be facing a hacked website soon.

The group of controversial protesters from Kansas, which responded to last month’s shooting rampage in Tucson with “thank God for the shooter — 6 dead,” has been threatened by the notorious collective of unnamed Internet-hacking activists calling itself “Anonymous,” which vows to inflict “irreversible” damage to the hate group’s website.

You might remember Anonymous, the “hactivist” group that successfully disabled sites backed by the regime of former Egypt president Hosni Mubarak before he was swept from power by protesters, in addition to disrupting a number of websites in support of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. The group has proven it’s capable of following through on its threats.

In a sharply worded open letter, Anonymous called the small group of Westboro Baptist Church members “an assembly of graceless sociopaths and maniacal chauvinists and religious zealots,” citing the way the group has condemned men and women who have died in the armed forces, as well as “prayed for and celebrated the deaths of young children.”

The Anonymous hackers continued with a warning: “Cease and desist your protest campaign in the year 2011, return to your homes in Kansas, & close your public websites.” The group states that “the damage incurred will be irreversible, and neither your institution nor your congregation will ever be able to fully recover.”
