MI6 brings down Al Qaeda website full of bomb making instructions with CUPCAKE RECIPES

The glossy internet magazine was intended to be a one-stop-shop for violent jihadists intent on inflicting murder and mayhem on the world.

But thanks to British intelligence officers, would-be terrorists found step-by-step recipes for cupcakes instead of instructions on how to make a home-made bomb.

Experts in cyber warfare hacked into the launch edition of Al Qaeda’s flagship magazine Inspire and garbled the text by inserting tasty recipes.

Icing on the cake: MI6 operatives were able to corrupt bomb-making instructions on an Al Qaeda website by inserting cupcake recipes

As a result, fanatics found details of mojito-flavoured cupcakes and rocky road cupcakes amid reams of unintelligible computer code.

The secretive sabotage operation was undertaken by agents at MI6 and GCHQ, the Government’s listening station in Cheltenham.

They took action as an organisation linked to Al Qaeda attempted to recruit a new generation of so-called ‘lone wolf’ terrorists.

Officers from Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ) in Cheltenham helped bring down the magazine

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsular, led by radical preacher Anwar al-Awlaki, produced the 67-page English-language magazine last summer.

It contained a feature headlined Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom, by an author known as the AQ Chef.

But after it was hacked, readers were confronted with page upon page of cup cake recipes for The Best Cupcakes in America

Thanks for the heads up. Now when they arrest a guy for trying to bring down a commercial airline with his underwear stuffed full of cupcakes, I'll understand.

But... But... That's an act of war.

So are these hackers evil too? I mean I know they work for the government, but hacking is bad.

/sarcasm

Not all hackers are bad some fight for JUSTICE!!! I with many others hate the stupid one's.

I want to see one of the terrorists expressions when they realized what had happened. XP
