Anonymous hackers broke into a FBI- Scotland Yard conference call on January 17 and posted the audio on the internet.
Here’s the call:
FOX News reported:
A sensitive conference call between the FBI and Scotland Yard was recorded and released online by the hackers in Anonymous, the group claimed Friday.
The group released a roughly 15-minute-long recording of what appears to be a Jan. 17 conference call devoted to tracking and prosecuting members of the loose-knit hacking group and its spinoff group LulzSec. There was no classified information on the call, FBI sources tell Fox News, noting that unsecure phones are not used for sensitive information.
“The information was intended for law enforcement,” the source said, and those responsible will be held accountable.
The authenticity of the recording could not be immediately verified and it’s unclear how the hacking group obtained it. Names of some of the suspects being discussed were apparently edited from the recording.
“The information was illegally obtained and a criminal investigation is underway,” FBI spokesman Tim Flannelly told FoxNews.com. He did not provide any additional details.
If authentic, the discussion itself appears quite sensitive. Those on the call talk about what legal strategy to pursue in the cases of Ryan Cleary and Jake Davis — two British suspects linked to Anonymous — and discuss details of the evidence gathered against other suspects.
