NEW JERSEY MAN CHARGED WITH ATTACKING CHURCH OF
SCIENTOLOGY WEBSITES IN THE NAME OF 'ANONYMOUS'

LOS ANGELES - A New Jersey man was charged today for his role in an attack on Church of Scientology websites in January 2008 that rendered the websites unavailable.

Dmitriy Guzner, 18, of Verona, New Jersey, has agreed to plead guilty to computer hacking for his role in the distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack against the Scientology websites. A DDOS attack occurs where a large amount of malicious Internet traffic is directed at a website or a set of websites. The target websites are unable to handle the high volume of Internet traffic and therefore become unavailable to legitimate users trying to reach the sites.

According to the criminal information filed in United States District Court in Los Angeles, Guzner participated in the attack because he considered himself a member of an underground group called "Anonymous." "Anonymous" has led protests against the Church of Scientology at various locations across the country, and in January 2008 posted a video on YouTube which announced a new offensive against Scientology.

Once he pleads guilty, which is expected to take place in the coming weeks in federal court in New Jersey, Guzner faces up to 10 years in federal prison.

This case was investigated by the United States Secret Service Electronic Crimes Task Force in Los Angeles. The agencies involved in the investigation were the United States Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office Bureau of Investigation.

Anonymous asks permission from NOBODY, moron.

18 months of peaceful protesting, without a SINGLE incident of violence by Anonymous. $cientology FAILS at making Anonymous look like criminals.

[AnonShawi]

COntinue to fabricate threats against yourselves, it only makes you look bad.

@Mohrkai

I gotta ask again: Do you have ANY idea what Anonymous is?

Also, this video doesn't "make an example of Anonymous" - the "bomb threats", for example, were forged by $cientology. Speaks volumes that you fall for their black PR crap.

I gotta ask again: Do you have ANY idea what Anonymous is? Also, this video doesn't make an example of anyone or anything but $cientology's desperate attempt to discredit its critics. The "bomb threat" video? $cientology made that - they have it in a better quality than the original video on YT - which was reported BY ANONYMOUS. You really think this cheap $cientology black PR piece "makes an example of Anonymous"? LOL

Not so much hatred but more opinionated referring to Anonymous hacks of Sony, CoS, Westboro Baptist Church, Stratfor, SCADA, Nato, Apple to name a few.

This video is a fine example. OR at least.. Makes an example of Anonymous.

Anonymous bunch of Trolls/Protestors/Hackers(Scra­tch that TRUE hackers don't expose who they hack for self-gain)

@Mohrkai

There you go with your accusations of "harassment" again... got anything to back that up? Where does your hatred for Anonymous come from when you obviously dont even get what Anonymous IS?

[Mohrkai]

@AnonRanGER01

Oh plenty to say.... you should think about what it is exactly that you actually have to say.

(what, stuck for words? - get a talking translator)

i thought you'd have something intelligable to say and as for "what is anonymous" good fucking question. "flash-mob" would be appropriate but a bunch of attention-grubbing protestors in guy fawkes' masks harassing certain groups and affiliates.

[AnonRanGER01]

@Mohrkai

Whatever you say, dude.

What harassment by Anonymous are you talking about? And do you even get what Anonymous is?

[Mohrkai]

@AnonRanGER01

protesting isn't stalking, you are correct. but harassing is stalking

got some double standard issues going on there haven't you?

if scientology harass then they are as bad as you, so don't claim you are something of positivity when you're a bunch of trolls trying to aggravate a cult to try and mislead a bunch of gullible morons.

scientology have a lot of frmality going on as for mugs like yourself, you are just a bunch of fucking trolls trying to ruin people.

[AnonRanGER01]

@Mohrkai

Maybe YOU should. I'll explain what I said again in very simple words and you can come up with a coherent answer:

We are PROTESTING. That is not "stalking". something the cult DOES.

Got it?
