Anonymous vs. Church of Scientology
This is a technical security administrator's nightmare. Pretty soon, it will be a physical security administrator's nightmare.
A few days ago, a video that you may have seen on the Mainstream Media got out. This video was of Tom Cruise, taking to fellow Scientologists as part of an internal awards program. Tom said some very, to some, disturbing things.
As with most high-level Church of Scientology member speeches, a lot of jargon is used. SPs, Tech, KSW, etc. These words mean things to Scientologists, the way words like ROR, OUI, 10-7, and other codes mean to police officers.
This has upset the masses, it seems. From the darkest corners of the internet, a hive mind-like group that calls themselves Anonymous has turned its gaze towards the Church of Scientology.
Anonymous' too long; didn't read background: Anonymous is a pseudonym (subtle, aren't they?) of users of several image boards. They conduct raids, or psychological warfare and infrastructure disruption campaigns, against people they don't like. These people include: Furries (Go on, look that up.), Users of GaiaOnline, Second Life (If you don't understand what Second Life is, don't worry, I do and I don't at the same time...), Hal Turner (A Neo-Nazi Talk Show Host or something), some pedo in Canada I can't be arsed to look up...
So, Anonymous issued a declaration of war. This video has 605,000+ views. It has been featured on NBC 11, KNBC, Sky News (For our Brits), and several other media feeds.
Digg, a social networking site, is blowing up with stories about this. Much to the usual Digg users delight and hate. Anonymous has co-oped Digg with sheer numbers, since Digg promotes stories by "how many people click the digg this button in a short amount of time?"
Anonymous is not a "hacker group," an "internet terrorist group," or even really a group. They use the Guy Falkes mask logo, from V for Vendetta, as a symbol. Because anyone can become Anonymous (by donning the name), and anyone can stop (by simply stop donning the name.) Its actually just a bunch of people (I'd call them kids, but no one knows the age of Anonymous) from the -chan sites. 4chan, 7chan, 420chan, etc.
They are organized, anyone can read their war plans here:
That's right, the way Anon fights is to put everything in the open, then do it.
As I said, this is a technical security administrator's nightmare.
