When a busy terrorist grabs a moment to peruse the latest issue of the first English language magazine from al Qaeda named "Inspire," he can be assured of helpful how-to tips. For instance, take the article "How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom."

The British MI6 Intelligence agency, not satisfied with simply breaking the code or hacking, left a witty calling card for subscribers. The agency, having named the caper "Operation Cupcake" hacked in, and left a spread to behold in place of the bomb in mom’s kitchen article. Their suggestion is much less lethal than the original article. and much more practical too.
