Oh, Westboro Baptist Church, you are such epic trolls.

In a 'rain on your wedding day' form of irony, this news will undoubtedly trigger an actual attack by members of anonymous...

Maybe we should just change this thread title to: Anonymous vs ?:FIGHT

Anonymous recently hacked the WBC Website. They did this because the WBC kept insisting that Anonymous were hacking their site. Kind of makes my brain hurt.

The did initially, but then they had a face-off against anonymous on a radio show, then anon did the real deed.
Also: WBC doing something for lulz? Doubt it, their members probably have their humour surgically removed at birth.

HBGary's open letter: full of denials that don't hold water
By Peter Bright | Last updated about 9 hours ago

HBGary, the security firm that saw its servers hacked and its e-mails released after its HBGary Federal offshoot angered the Anonymous hive, published a rather peculiar open letter this past Friday in an effort to address the "large amount of misinformation reported in the press." But the letter makes some questionable claims of its own.

The unsigned letter outlines the basics of the attack and asserts that HBGary's internal systems remained safe and uncompromised. To ward off future attacks, the letter also claimed that HBGary's website, which was hacked using a basic security flaw, and its e-mail system, which fell victim to weak, re-used passwords, were now back in operation with "even stronger cyber defense mechanisms."

HBGary says that the company's concern in the immediate aftermath was to determine if customers had been affected by the intrusion. On receipt of legal advice, the company's policy was to refrain from commenting on the e-mails, though it acknowledges that this may have led to the amount of "misinformation" floating around.

...
*sigh* This lot never learns, wonder how they would look if Anon hacked them all over again...
