Hackers after Scientology

A group of hackers calling itself "Anonymous" has hit the Church of Scientology's Web site with an online attack.



The attack was launched January 19 by Anonymous, which is seeking media
attention to help "save people from Scientology by reversing the
brainwashing," according to a Web page maintained by Anonymous.



Anonymous claims to have knocked the Church's Web site offline with a
distributed denial-of-service attack, in which many computers bombard
the victim's server with requests, overwhelming it with data in the
hope of ultimately knocking the system offline. True to its name,
Anonymous does not disclose the true identities of its members.
