Anonymous doesn't kid around and the Westboro Baptist Church learned that the hard way. The hacktivist group took down their website and left a stern message. The two groups, the radical hackers which launch denial-of-service attacks and the radical religious organization which preaches its message about God by protesting military funerals, have been sparring through the Internet and online message boards. The feud began with a "letter" from Anonymous to Westboro Baptist Church, explaining if the church didn't stop their "benighted gospel of hatred" and "fascist views," Anonymous would target their websites.

The Metropolitan Police were called in after vandals breached a database maintained by  St George's University of London medical school  and sent obscene mails to the users of the database.

An online message to shoppers reads: "You can shop with confidence knowing that your details will be safe. Meanwhile the rest of the site has been tested by external experts to check that our processes are all as secure as they can be." It adds: "Thank you all for coming back to us and trusting us to serve you again." Lush became aware that its security had been breached on Christmas Day and investigated, but only told customers on January 21 when it sh...
