This was probably already discussed but I didn't see it in the first couple of pages, and in the off chance that it slipped through the cracks I thought I would share it. Can I just say, the FBI and Scotland Yard got pwnd!

Trading jokes and swapping leads, investigators from the FBI and Scotland Yard spent the conference call strategizing about how to bring down the hacking collective known as Anonymous, responsible for a string of embarrassing attacks across the Internet.

Unfortunately for the cyber sleuths, the hackers were in on the call too — and now so is the rest of the world.

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."

A law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter is under investigation, told The Associated Press that authorities were looking at the possibility the message was intercepted from the private email account of one of the dozens of invited participants — who hailed from the U.K., Ireland, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Sweden.

1. Somebody's in trouble....

After reading the article I can see one of three scenarios:
1. The Bureau has a leaker.
2. The parties involved made an insecure conference call discussing sensitive material.
3. Anonymous has cracked Type 1 encryption.

Scenario 1: Perhaps, but since this is so publicized that person's days with The Bureau are numbered.

Scenario 2: Probable. Again because of the negative publicity, much pee-pee whackage will soon occur.

Scenario 3: No. Fucking. Way.
