One can easily see that the Israelite Samaritans use a different script which is alot closer to the ancient Hebrew script, the so-called ktav Ivri. The Talmud (Sanhedrin 21b) records no less than three opinions on how the alphabet in which the Torah was originally written (they disagree on that too) was changed. This is a longer, more detailed article; this is a short-and-sweet bare bones summary. Who or what gave Ezra, or some other Sage, the right to change the alphabet?
So, I've come to the conclusion that the script of our version of the Torah is plenty suspect.
