In addition, the hackers used their access to the Russian prison system’s online commissary, where family members buy food for inmates, to change the prices of things like noodles and canned beef to one ruble, which is roughly $0.01

That's surprisingly wholesome for hacktivists. Great idea!

Why is that surprising? The word hacktivist is defined by doing good deeds. That's literally what it means

It may be me being misinformed on the topic, bust most hacktivism actions I've heard about in the news were targeted at hurting the bad guys and rarely at effectively helping out the small guy.

That may be a fair point
