Operation Cupcake of the Day: Would-be terrorists, who downloaded the al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula-affiliated online publication Inspire, found bomb making instructions from “The AQ Chef” replaced by Ellen DeGeneres’s recipes for “The Best Cupcakes in America,” courtesy of MI6 and the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ).
In a joint operation, the two British intelligence agencies hacked into the magazine to remove articles by Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, as well as the aforementioned bomb-making article and a piece on “What to expect in Jihad.”
The delicious disruption didn’t last long, however: AQAP reissued the magazine two weeks later.
