A conference call between Scotland Yard and the FBI has been intercepted and published by a member of the computer hacking group Anonymous.



The conversation concerned a young member of another hacking collective who was cooperating with the police in Britain but also involved officers joking about cheese and Sheffield.



The hacker apparently managed to access the call after getting into an FBI email which gave details of the call. The email was also posted online.



Writing on the Twitter account, AnonymousIRC, one hacker said: The FBI might be curious how we're able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now.



The email referred to an investigation on both sides of the Atlantic into a number of hacking groups. It read: A conference call is planned for next Tuesday (January 17, 2012) to discuss the on-going investigations related to Anonymous, Lulzsec, Antisec, and other associated splinter groups.



The recording refers to the on-going court case against Ryan Cleary, arrested last June for his alleged role in the group LulzSec, and reveals legally sensitive information.

Pretty scary he was able to do this!
 
I find the potential conversations that occur behind those closed doors to be more frightening.
