Anonymous Targets Westboro

The hacktivists at Anonymous are punishing Westboro Baptist Church for their plan to picket Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary. Via CNET:



As part of a campaign dubbed #OpWestBoro, KY Anonymous said yesterday it posted the personal information belonging to members of the extremist organization, which is best known for conducting protests designed to disrupt the funerals of members of the military killed in action. The data dump included the names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, and physical addresses of dozens of alleged members of the religious organization. The group did not indicate where or how it acquired the data.
