Sick hackers start seizures
Not fit to be called human
SICKO HACKERS posted JavaScript code and flashing computer animation on an epilepsy site with the aim of triggering migraines and seizures in users.
The non-profit Epilepsy Foundation shut the site down to kill off the offending messages and to boost security immediately following the attack.
Ken Lowenberg, senior director of web and print publishing at the Epilepsy Foundation, said that fortunately only a handful of people were affected, although some might have fled the site completely and not commented on the attack.
On Sunday the hackers were redirecting victims' browsers to an outside page
with complex images that were designed to trigger seizures in both
photosensitive and pattern-sensitive epileptics.
One user said she was locked up into staring at the screen and was in pain. She
was rescued by her 11-year-old son who turned off the browser.
Most other members suffered from headaches if they logged on.
Currently the blame has been put on a group called Anonymous whoich recently
took on the Church of Scientology. The reason for the attack appears to be
because the site referenced EBaumsWorld, which is much hated by Anonymous. µ

well..
they've denied it, saying it was a CoS 'fair game' stunt, but anyway...wrong
Anonymous is not doing this, anonymous is trying to bring down the church of scientology. there are false rumours that anonymous is hacking sites, athough this was most likely started by the church of scientology when anonymous started their campain against themFair Game
CoS is well known for its "Fair Game" policy. There is plenty of suspicion that it was in fact them who hacked the site, in order to try and place blame on its enemy. This would not be the first time. Or second, or third...Anonymous?
I was waiting for you to fall for this one. The attacks are very unlikely started by the group 'Anonymous', and the rumours that they are responsible are likely started by the 'church' of $cientology, known for taking issue with anyone who doesn't like what they do. Read between the lines, things are not always what they seem....
What a low life piece of shit...oh you
its so funny seeing all of you people try to put this on scientology. the scientology raid was not conducted by anonymous, it was conducted by a bunch of moralfags trying to be anonymous, and failing at every turn with their blatant newfaggotry.Like scientology really gives a fsck about a bunch of pathetic little 15 year old nerds holding up pieces of paper.
anonymous did this. put up with it. there was a thread about it on 420chan, and it got lots of support, if the scientologists started the thread then so be it. they are much better allies than you protestfags
You got it all wrong
I tell you right now that we had nothing to do with this. It could have been anybody. But anonymous is NOT a family friendly group, we do hack websites for fun. But only if there is enough faggotry on the site to allow it. For example Gaiaonline this site is filled with emo crybabies. we originaly started the $ientology thing for OUR own enjoyment but then Mark Bunker showed us the peacefull, legal way."Anonymous" did not do this
The anti-Scientology group "Anonymous" did not perpetrate this horrible attack. The trouble with naming a group "Anonymous" is that anything anyone ever does on the internet, without attaching a name, then gets blamed on Anonymous. No, the anti-Scientology Anonymous is ONLY interested in exposing and dismantling the Scientology corporation. Other groups on the internet may sometimes do nasty things. Also, it is worth considering the possibility that Scientology itself conducted the attack, in an effort to make Anonymous seem like terrorists (this has been their mantra). Scientology has done this sort of thing many times in its history (type "Operation Freakout" into Google and you'll see). In short, things are not always as they seem.

If you have some kind of moral objection to doing this, then you need to find a remedy for your troll's remorse. I suggest Jack Daniels."

this isn't an isolated event
It isn't the first time the hooligans at 7chan instigated an attack on epilepsy forums. They do it periodically. I issued a press release ( http://www.pr.com/press-release/60959 ) after they attacked CWE ( http://www.coping-with-epilepsy.com/ ) last November. They have attacked the NSE forums ( http://www.epilepsyforum.org.uk/ ) several times over the last couple years.Deplorable
I'm one of the protesters against the Church of Scientology, and I really don't understand how people could be blaming us for this thing. Anyone can be anonymous on-line. Scientology is against its members taking medication to stop them from getting seizures, for example, Tory "Magoo" Christman - http://www.entheta.net/archive/personal_story/tory/affidavit.htmlJocelyn Dorfmann died from an epileptic seizure in Scientology care in France - http://www.whyaretheydead.net/others/Jocelyne_Dorfmann_34.html
Heribert Pfaff died from an epileptic seizure in a Scientology hotel in Clearwater - http://www.whyaretheydead.net/room758.html
James Stewart committed suicide after CoS put in him in a Condition of Doubt for having epileptic seizures in public - http://www.holysmoke.org/cos/kult-epelep.htm
burn in hell
this i know, a true religion will not ask for cash burn in hell scientologist'sbut its all so very funny
Deplorable
Oh man. I'm one of the protesters against the Church of Scientology, and I really don't understand how people could be blaming us for this thing. Anyone can be anonymous on-line, people need to take a look at the websites these griefers operate on. The people who run sites like 7chan are against our protests. Scientology is against its members taking medication to stop them from getting seizures, for example, Tory "Magoo" Christman - http://www.entheta.net/archive/personal_story/tory/affidavit.htmlJocelyn Dorfmann died from an epileptic seizure in Scientology care in France - http://www.whyaretheydead.net/others/Jocelyne_Dorfmann_34.html

Come on now
Alright. First off, CoS is prolly doing this and citing anon to get bad media attention.Second of all, it's STILL something "anonymous" would do.
It's leaderless and organizationless. More than half of us hate the whole CoS thing. Many of us get off on child pornography.
Some of us have a rigid moral compass, but still enjoy loling at the horrible things people do to each other.
EVEN IF this had anything to do with a few kiddies from 4chan, it doesn't mean it goes towards all of anonymous' reputation.
Jesus. People are starting to think this is like fight club IRLs. It's not. It's a bunch of fat faggots who jerk off to pics of kids and like tricking people into getting fucked one way or another.
anonymous
anonymous attack child abuse websites regularly, that have attacked websites for children that are still missing, they have attacked rememberance sites for those who have died, attacked suicide victims and much more. encylopediadramatica.com is one of their sites, type in maddy mccann, or en hero which means suicide, wales, bebo, myspace and much more and rape or child abuse and see what they do to many sites. They have terrorised innocent people, sent death threats, look up fox news and anonymous. Thats not scientology doing it, thats anonymous doing it
