An interesting story has recently gotten popular in the media: a few days ago hackers took down an ISIS site set up on Tor with an .onion address. What did they replace it with? A funny little message:
Too Much ISIS.
Enhance your calm. Too many people are into this ISIS-stuff. Please aze upon this lovely ad so we can upgrade our infrastructure to give you ISIS content you all so desperately crave.
It's not known exactly who is responsible for the hack. But The Independent covered it, and Yahoo! as well. Even the New York Magazine got in on it:

For once it's nice to see a terrorism-related bitcoin story that isn't just fear and stupidity, but a fun little display of how bitcoin can spit in the face of religious extremism.
