Hackers Target Westboro Baptist Church

An anonymous, pro-Wikileaks group is threatening to "eradicate" the Westboro Baptist Church's inflammatory websites if its virulently antigay members do not stop their protests in 2011.

CBS News reports that the group, dubbed simply as "Anonymous" and known for hacking into a private security firm's computer systems earlier this month, wrote in an open letter to WBC members: "We will target your public Websites, and the propaganda & detestable doctrine that you promote will be eradicated; the damage incurred will be irreversible, and neither your institution nor your congregation will ever be able to fully recover.

"It is in your best interest to comply now, while the option to do so is still being offered, because we will not relent until you cease the conduction & promotion of all your bigoted operations & doctrines," the group wrote.
