A hacker group called Anonymous, has declared war on the 'church' of Scientology. So far they seem to have successfully executed a DoS attack on the Scientology website, and a prank on the church's hotline.
Various Media outlets have picked up on this.
Australia Wired The Register National Post
Anon has responded to media coverage of the 'war.'
I fight the urge to support Anon in this solely because of the quality of their videos. But really I don't see what they're going to do. They can't cause any real harm by pulling pranks like a DoS or phone line redirects. They'd really have to cause financial messes, like stealing money from the 'church' and sending it to the FBI, then send an email politely asking them to spend the money investigating the 'church.' That would be impressive, because it's really hard to do. So until they show themselves to actually be serious in this, I have to write them off as a bunch of kids playing important on YouTube.

UPDATE:
Anon delivers scans of scientology staff training manual
UPDATE:
Anon has posted further posts, but since Anon is anonymous, and they post form a different user name every time. It's impossible to tell which posts are actually from Anon and which ones are from random copycats.
A friend pointed out to me that Anon is a terrorist org.
This post to Scientology followers, I believe is from Anon.
UPDATE:
Fox News did a special on Anon which really showcases their terrorist activities.
