Hacker group anonymous snoops, posts audio of Scotland Yard / FBI conference call [AUDIO]

Hacker group Anonymous on Friday released audio of a conference call between British and U.S. authorities, one that the FBI and Scotland Yard later confirmed to be an actual conversation discussing suspects and efforts around LulzSec, the Antisec movement, and yes, Anonymous.

The audio, uploaded to YouTube and embedded below, was captured on January 17, but not posted until Friday, Feb. 3. Authorities confirmed its validity, as well as the validity of an email that Anonymous posted on the Web, as well. The email, with the subject "Anon-Lulz International Coordination Call," was sent to over 40 law enforcement officials, scheduling the conference call for Tuesday, Jan. 17. The email was sent to authorities in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, The Netherlands, France and Sweden,

Only a few of those emailed apparently called into the teleconference, based on the audio.

In the audio of the call, authorities can be heard discussing suspects, both captured and still at large, using both their actual names and their "handles." Whichever member of the Anonymous hacking group that uploaded the audio ensured that the real names of those who are apparently still at large were bleeped out of the conversation. However, the real names of some hackers who have already been apprehended, such as Jake Davis, who authorities believe to be the high-ranking LulzSec operative "Topiary," can be heard on the audio.

The FBI confirmed that the audio was real, saying the information "was intended for law enforcement officers only and was illegally obtained." They added, however, that no FBI systems were breached, also saying that "a criminal investigation is under way to identify and hold accountable those responsible."

Meanwhile, London police confirmed in their own statement on Friday that one of its e-crimes specialists had been on the recorded conference call. However, it added that "at this stage no operational risks" to the police service had been identified.

While the FBI and U.K. claim that all is well in terms of the security of their systems, Anonymous wasn't quite so kind. In a Tweet that the hacker group issues on Friday, Anonymous said that

"The #FBI might be curious how we're able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now. #OpInfiltration"
