I understand the psychological aspect of what they did as far as showing that we know who they are and what they are doing, but wouldn't a small amount of unseen code that tracks the IP of downloads or even a keylogger (for email access or other websites) have yielded far more effective results? Does navigating my own email sometimes have to be more dangerous than facing MI6 hackers? Sony lost their network for the better part of 2 months and all MI6 did was insert a link for cupcake recipes for 2 weeks? I'm sure there are other operations that we will never here about that are far more effective but I feel like they could have done far worse.

They may have already done that but just not talking about it.

Oops, we jsut exposed their SUPER SECRETIVE COVERT move.

BTW the cupcake is cute. Imagine someone who follow the instructions and see the cup cake expand but not explode. LOL

Hopefully, this was simply a diversionary tactic that doubled for + publicity. I'd like to think they've done more than just give a recipe for cupcakes. At least a recipe for chocolate chip cookies!
