Finally, useful hacking

The BBC has an article about Anonymous, finally doing something good:

Hackers recently released a video statement condemning the gun attack on the French magazine Charlie Hebdo. The group Anonymous describes the short film as a "message for al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and other terrorists".
In it, a masked and hooded figure (photo) with a distorted voice threatens in French: "We are declaring war against you, the terrorists." The video was uploaded to the group's Belgian YouTube account. Seated in front of a desk holding a piece of paper, the figure claims the group will track down and close all accounts related to terrorists on social networks to avenge the French victims.
The video featured the hashtag #OpCharlieHebdo, meaning Operation Charlie Hebdo.
But critics say taking down extremist websites could make it harder for security forces to monitor terrorists.

Anonymous is a group made up of activists and hackers claiming to defend and protect democracy. They've previously made threats against the BBC, while hackers linked to the group also threatened to release sex tapes which they claimed were of Iggy Azalea.
The group has carried out denial of service attacks on websites belonging to governments, as well as religious and corporate organizations.

Rico says it's rare that he gets to root for Anonymous, but he wishes them well with this...
