Members of the hacker collective “Anonymous” published a trove of information over the weekend purporting to be the individual names, email addresses, phone numbers and home addresses of every adult member of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church after the group announced plans to picket Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT.

The church said on Twitter that it would be picketing the school where 26 people, 20 of them children, were killed by a heavily armed gunman on Friday. The anti-gay hate group blamed the tragedy on same sex marriage equality. The hate group tends to pick highly controversial sites to protest — like soldiers’ funerals and areas affected by natural disasters

The Twitter account of Westboro spokesperson Shirley Phelps-Roper was hijacked on Monday morning by a hacker claiming to be “Cosmo the God,” a 16-year-old who allegedly orchestrated several major hacks against companies like CloudFlare, AT&T, Amazon, Microsoft and Netflix.
It’s not clear if this hacker actually is the notorious Cosmo, who was arrested recently and ordered not to access the Internet as a part of his parole.

GodHatesFags.com, the Westboro Baptist Church’s home on the Internet, was taken offline Monday by a distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack ostensibly launched by hackers with Anonymous. The hackers vowed via Twitter to keep the church’s website offline for as long as possible, or potentially take it over completely.
