Hackers who launched a massive online attack against the Church of
Scientology are now turning to real-world protests to draw attention to
what they call a "vast moneymaking scheme under the guise of 'religion."'

The loosely organized group of hackers, who meet up and coordinate attacks
through Internet Relay Chat channels, have set Feb. 10 for a wave of
protests at Scientology locations worldwide.

In anonymous postings on the group's Web site, organizers said they are
trying to raise awareness about the threats to free speech posed by the
church's lawyers, who, the group claims, aggressively try to silence
critics by threatening lawsuits. The church said its lawyers follow
standard procedures for protecting copyrighted materials.
