Hackers intercept confidential conference call between FBI and Scotland Yard, leak info to Web

Anonymous published the roughly 15-minute-long recording of the call on the Internet on Friday, gloating in a Twitter message that “the FBI might be curious how we’re able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now.”
The humiliating coup exposed a vulnerability that might have had more serious consequences had someone else been listening in on the line. /snip
