Yahoo Mail Hit By XSS Exploit Putting 400 Million Users At Risk

Yahoo Mail Hit By XSS Exploit Putting 400 Million Users At Risk

Yet again mistrust growing in between the large number of Yahoo users, as it has been continuously failed to protect its customers from cyber attack. Late in last year we have seen that the two major services of Yahoo get compromised, which affects millions of its registered users across the globe. First it was Yahoo Voice, which get hacked while putting 450K users at high risk. Then it was the time for Yahoo Mail, where few Egyptian hacker figured out serious XSS vulnerabilities in Yahoo Mailing service  that lets attackers steal cookies from Yahoo Webmail users. Later cyber criminals made product while exploring that loop holes, that so called product or widely known as exploit was made available at high price in underground market and forums. As expected Yahoo immediately patched these loopholes, but now it seems they did not learn lesson from the decent past. 
You all may be wondering! what happened? Again the security of Yahoo fallen victim in front of hackers.  Shahin Ramezany, a hacker and independent security researcher have figure out a DOM-Based XSS vulnerability in Yahoo Mail that is exploitable in all major browsers. Ramezany tweeted about this issue whihc links to an YouTube video, where he demonstrated the hack. Shahin Ramezany also claimed that the exploit have put more than 400 Million yahoo users at risk


As soon as this story get spotted, Yahoo immediately responds the matter, in their official release a Yahoo spokesman said "We’ve been looking into it and the US have now confirmed that they are investigating too. They will be in touch if there is a comment – otherwise I recommend that if users are concerned then they should change their passwords immediately." 

Later Yahoo said that thy have plugged the security hole. In their statement the spokesperson added, “At Yahoo! we take security very seriously and invest heavily in measures to protect our users and their data. We were recently informed of an online video that demonstrated a vulnerability. We confirm that the vulnerability has been fixed. In addition, we are investigating recent reports of increased abusive traffic and will work diligently to fix any vulnerabilities that are found. Concerned users are encouraged to change their passwords to a safe password that combines letters, numbers, and symbols.”

But this issue did not get completely resolved, as immediately after the fix release of Yahoo, Shahin Ramezany said that the fix is not good enough, and the Yahoo Mail exploit is still active. In his twitter he said "not effective enough and users are still [at] risk," since the proof-of-concept code can be easily tweaked to continue attacks.

Internet Explorer Vulnerability Allowing Hackers to Track Your Mouse Cursor

Internet Explorer Vulnerability Allowing Hackers to Track Your Mouse Cursor, Still Microsoft is Apathetic 

Yet again Microsoft Internet Explorer have fallen victim in front of hackers. Spider.io a website analytics firm has discovered a security vulnerability in all current versions of Internet Explorer that allows attackers to trace mouse cursors anywhere on users' screens even if the Internet Explorer window is minimized  The vulnerability is particularly troubling because it compromises the security of virtual keyboards and virtual keypads. Spider.io said -The vulnerability is notable because it compromises the security of virtual keyboards and virtual keypads.
As a user of Internet Explorer, your mouse movements can be recorded by an attacker even if you are security conscious and you never install any untoward software. An attacker can get access to your mouse movements simply by buying a display ad slot on any webpage you visit. This is not restricted to lowbrow porn and file-sharing sites. Through today’s ad exchanges, any site from YouTube to the New York Times is a possible attack vector. Indeed, the vulnerability is already being exploited by at least two display ad analytics companies across billions of webpage impressions each month. As long as the page with the exploitative advertiser’s ad stays open—even if you push the page to a background tab or, indeed, even if you minimize Internet Explorer—your mouse cursor can be tracked across your entire display.


Vulnerability Disclosure
Package: Microsoft Internet Explorer
Affected: Tested on versions 6–10
BugTraq Link: seclists.org/bugtraq/2012/Dec/81


Spider.io has set a demo page to demonstrate how the vulnerability is working. According to sources, Microsoft Security Research Center has acknowledged the vulnerability, but unfortunate that Microsoft are not in a hurry to patch this vulnerability in existing versions of its popular browser. "There are no immediate plans to patch this vulnerability in existing versions of the browser."  said MSRC

Anonymous Say They've Track down Amanda Todd’s Tormentor & Publishes Online

Anonymous Say They've Track down Amanda Todd’s Tormentor & Publishes Online 

Everyday we are increasing cyber security, to stand against any sort of cyber harassment and attacks. But still its very unfortunate to say that the whole system failed to protect a teenager named Amanda Todd from Canada. She has been fallen a victim of cyber bullying, 15-year-old Amanda, described with the aid of a series of flashcards - the horrific treatment she had received at the hands of bullies in her video entitled "My Story: Struggling, bullying, suicide and self harm". Amanda was bullied viciously on Facebook where her schoolmates were invited to join a page which included topless photographs of her, causing Amanda to suffer from anxiety and depression.
Despite her family moving house and her changing schools, the bullying continued and Amanda fell into drug-taking and alcohol.  After a violent encounter with another girl, Amanda drank bleach and attempted to kill herself. "It killed me inside and I thought I actually was going to die." Amanda admitted in the video that she had deliberately cut herself, and ends the movie by holding a card which reads: "I have nobody. I need someone. My name is Amanda Todd." Finally after facing so many horrific treatment, she committed suicide. on 10th of October, it was just one week before her 16th birthday.

Here is the video, where Amanda tried to describe what she faced:- 
Amanda's tragic death has stirred a national debate about cyberbullying, but the sad story has now developed a new twist, when hacker collective group Anonymous claimed that hey have tracked down a man they say is Amanda Todd’s tormenter. The hacktivists say they have found a man in his early 30s from New Westminster, B.C., who allegedly blackmailed the 15-year-old girl for pictures over the Internet. In their move Anonymous have published a video (later removed by YouTube) and documents on pastebin, naming the person that they believe to have allegedly relentlessly harrassed Amanda Todd. 

Police told The Canadian Press they were aware of the Anonymous claim. “I'm not going to speak to anything beyond the fact that we are aware of what has been put on social media in regards to that name,” said Sgt. Peter Thiessen, spokesman for the RCMP. Amanda’s mother, Carol Todd, has said police have been investigating leads about the Web stalker. “Police investigated and investigated, it got traced to somebody in the United States,” Carol Todd was quoted saying by the press. “But they never found him. Those people are very good at hiding their tracks.”

Iran Accused of Carrying out Cyber Attacks Against US Banks Over Anti Islamic Movie Issue

Iran Accused of Carrying out Cyber Attacks Against US Banks Over Anti Islamic Movie Issue

Since last few days, the conspiracy with the 'Anti Islamic Movie' was the headline in every where. We have seen global violence and a mass protest mainly came from Muslim brotherhood. This protest was also touched the internet, and as expected Muslim hackers joined the movement, which cost many damages for the cyber fence. Thousands of websites became victim of cyber attack, and among them several US banks also faced huge disturbance. This protest takes a new direction when Govt of Iran announced the blockage of Google Inc's search engine and its email service. "Google and Gmail will be filtered throughout the country until further notice," an official identified only by his last name, Khoramabadi, said, without giving further details. The Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA) said Google ban was connected to the anti-Islamic film posted on the company's YouTube site which has caused outrage throughout the Muslim world. 
This stand of Iran Govt created a controversy, which make them responsible for carrying out cyber attacks against US banks. According to NBC news report US National Security officials accused the Iranian government for engaging cyber attacks against US Banks mainly Bank of America. But when the ball goes to Iran's side then they completely denies the blame, while saying "We officially announce that we haven't had any attacks," This statement came from the Head of Iran's civil defense agency Gholam Reza Jalali when he was asked about the report. The western media reports alleged on Friday that Muslim hackers have repeatedly attacked Bank of America Corp, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Citigroup Inc over the past year as part of a broad cyber campaign targeting the United States. Security sources told Chicago Tribune and NBC News that the attacks on the three largest US banks originated in Iran, but it is not clear if they were launched by the state, groups working on behalf of the government, or "patriotic" citizens. 

Here we want to refresh your memory while digging up a story, when Iran Govt decided a permanent Internet ban in Iran, where Iran Government has announced its plans to establish a National Intranet within five months. The Iranian minister for Information and Communications Technology, announced the setting up of a national Intranet and the effective blockage of services like Google, Gmail, Google Plus, Yahoo and Hotmail, in line with Iran's plan for a "clean Internet." And that five months is almost over, so may be the blockage of Google came due to that reason, or may be not. We suggest our readers that, it will be better if you ask yourself, that whether Iran was indeed responsible for the cyber attack or not??!!

Former Anonymous Spokesman Barrett Brown Arrested in Texas

Former Anonymous Spokesman Barrett Brown Arrested in Texas After Threatening FBI Agent

Barrett Brown, former spokesman and leader of infamous hacker collective Anonymous was arrested by authorities in Dallas. This arrest took place on Wednesday just hours after he posted a YouTube video in which he appeared to threaten an FBI agent for allegedly harassing his mother. Brown was arrested shortly before 11 p.m. and turned over to FBI custody, according to Carmen Castro, a spokeswoman for the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office. Castro could not say what he had been charged with. Brown's attorney, Jay Leiderman, told the press that his client was charged with making threats to a federal agent.  
In immediate response Anonymous on Thursday,  released a statement on Pastie detailing what it claimed were credit card numbers, addresses and phone numbers of 13 federal government employees. On Twitter, the hacker group said the release of the information was in retaliation for Brown's arrest, calling him “our controversial hated/loved friend.”  But it seems that, these protest cant make any difference to Barrett Brown's future. We would like to remind you that in middle of last year Brown officially broke all his attachment with Anonymous. But still he has been under the eye of law enforcement for some time and In March, Brown’s home was raided by the FBI, which confiscated his laptop, when authorities revealed that Hector Xavier Monsegur was the person behind Sabu, the colorful leader of LulzSecurity, an offshoot of Anonymous. Brown has been faulted by many members of Anonymous for using his real name and for being quoted as a representative of the group, which prides itself on being loosely knit and having no clear leaders. He is best known for threatening to hack into the computers of the Zetas, one of Mexico's deadly drug trafficking cartels. Brown did not immediately return a message left on his cell phone on Thursday. Several websites posted what they said was video of Brown conducting a web chat as officers arrived, yelling "get your hands up!"

Twitter May Face Nationwide Block in India, If They Doesn't Remove 28 Harmful Pages

Twitter May Face Nationwide Block in India If They Doesn't Remove 28  Harmful Pages

The Government of India has threatened to block Twitter across the whole country, if the social networking giant doesn't block and remove 28 accounts containing objectionable content within 12 hours. The department of telecommunications (DoT) ordered blocking of the accounts on August 20. The blocked accounts include those maintained by a columnist and a journalist working for a TV channel. Those Twitter accounts are part of a list containing over 300 specific URLs that internet service providers (ISPs) in India have been told to block. The list is dominated by URLs belonging to Facebook and Youtube. Indian government allegedly found 102 URLs on Facebook and 85 URLs on YouTube where communally sensitive content was posted. According to a blogpost at Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) told almost "all of the blocked items have content that are related to communal issues and rioting". The information ministry has issued Twitter with a deadline notice to remove "inflammatory and harmful" material that has allegedly triggered ethnic tensions against northeastern migrants living in southern cities. Thousands of migrant students and workers have fled cities such as Mumbai and Bangalore in fear of retaliation for violence against Muslims in the northeastern state of Assam. Internet posts, phone text messages and fake video clips allegedly spread rumours that Muslims were poised to attack them. "If Twitter fails to respond to our request, we will take appropriate action," senior home ministry official R K Singh was quoted as saying in the press. 
"We have asked the information technology ministry to serve them a notice." Information technology minister Kapil Sibal said he was frustrated at the lack of response from US social networking sites.
Twitter has conveyed that it was facing technical difficulties in blocking certain webpages where morphed and inflammatory images were uploaded but the government made it clear that the social networking site has to withdraw them or face punitive action. "We are not ruling out," an official said when asked whether Twitter was buying time. The government says Google and Facebook have largely cooperated while Twitter has been much slower to respond.
The blocking of Twitter accounts was partial due to technical challenges. The accounts have already been blocked with the help of ISPs and not Twitter. Accessing them from India shows web users a message, saying "This website/URL has been blocked until further notice either pursuant to Court orders or on the Directions issued by the Department of Telecommunications". Also, the block works only if the accounts are accessed using HTTP and not HTTPS protocol.

Google Threatens To Sue YouTube-to-MP3-Ripping Sites

Google Threatens To Sue YouTube-to-MP3-Ripping Sites

Bad news for those people who are habituated to rip YouTube music videos to MP3s through youtube-mp3.org and similar sites. According to an exclusive report of TorrentFreak - Google are threatening action against one of the web’s largest YouTube conversion sites. The site, which according to Google’s own stats is pulling in 1.3 million visitors every day, extracts MP3 audio from YouTube videos and makes it available for users to download. Google’s lawyers say this must stop, and have given the site seven days to comply. 
Over the years, YouTube has struck deals with record labels such as Warner Music Group and Universal to host music videos on the site. Although the music is always free, most videos have links to buy the songs on iTunes, Google Play and AmazonMP3. The video is supposed to be promotional, but conversion sites provide a way to take the music with you at no charge -- a practice that surely riles copyright holders.
What YouTube-MP3 does is straightforward. At one end a user feeds the site with a YouTube URL and after a couple of minutes the site spits out a standalone MP3 file, perfect for ripping the audio from pop videos.
Needless to say these sites are hugely popular, particularly with the younger generation. But aside from that emotional appeal, websites that provide Youtube-to-MP3 conversion don't have a strong argument to stand on. YouTube's API terms of service forbid users from extracting individual elements from a video -- such as the audio component -- and from making any part of the video available for download. Conversion sites clearly violate those terms or service.
In an open letter, “Philip” from Youtube-mp3.org argues that Google, which owns YouTube, is being hypocritical, noting that the company scanned out-of-print books into digital form without permission, and shows news snippets from online publications on Google News at no cost, even as some publishers demand payment. Likewise, Philip argues that his site is bending the rules to serve the needs of users. It's not clear why YouTube is taking action now, since these sites have been around for a while. But what we can guess is that copyright holders are pushing YouTube to crack down as the site tries to secure more professional content. Even if YouTube swats down some sites, others will surely crop up, and standalone conversion tools will remain available. But for those rights holders, at least it looks like Google's doing something.

Your can compare this operation with Wall Street protest campaign of Anon. The group is protesting the EU-backed research project INDECT, which looks to develop technology that can automatically detect criminal threats by analyzing conspicuous behavior online and in real life through various surveillance measures. “We have been accepting the claims of disclosure of our private data for too long in order to prevent acts of terrorism,” Anonymous said in a video posted on YouTube. “People started to accept being treated as potential terrorists or criminals, being more and more deprived of their basic rights, and allowing the surveillance society to gain increased control over them.”

Selena Gomez Facebook Hacker Sentenced To One Year in Prison

Selena Gomez Facebook Hacker Sentenced To One Year in Prison

A British hacker has been sentenced to one year in prison after he admitted to hacking singer-actress Selena Gomez's Facebook account and illegally accessing the  emails. According to the London's Metropolitan Police - Gareth Crosskey, 21, was jailed on Wednesday for an incident in January 2011, when he hacked into an unnamed American's Facebook profile. 
Crosskey was arrested at his home in West Sussex, a coastal county in south of London. Law-enforcement agents removed computers and other storage devices from his home during the raid. A YouTube video detailing the account takeover was allegedly posted by Crosskey, using the hacker handle "PkinJ0r." The video shows someone gaining control of Gomez's Facebook page and entering text into various fields.
However, none of the new information is saved, and the maker of the video writes in one field as he films, "I won't actually be posting anything ... Due to it's her page and I'm not that much of a [jerk]."
The video maker made one telling error, which may have led to Crosskey's arrest.
Following the breach, which was reported to the FBI, Crosskey was released on bail. The FBI traced Crosskey's Facebook hack to the U.K, and on Feb. 29, he was brought back to court, where he pleaded guilty to two counts of illegally accessing data, both violations of the Computer Misuse Act.
British police stressed that Crosskey's jail term should serve as a warning that authorities will take swift action, and levy strong penalties, against anyone who follows in his footsteps. 
We would like to give you reminder that this year Young Pop Star & Gomez's husband Justin Bieber's twitter account also get compromised

Anonymous Vows To Release Evidence of Extra Terrestrial Beings Like Aliens & UFO

Anonymous Vows To Release Evidence of Extra Terrestrial Beings Like Aliens & UFO

In the coming week hacker collective Anonymous vows to release evidence of extra terrestrial beings that have been on Earth since the early 1900s. According to a YouTube video Anonymous said that the "truth" of the aliens are much more intricate than simple UFOs and flying saucers. Apparently within a few days Anonymous will release the information it has about the extra terrestrials who already interact with humans. Earlier in May 2011 we have seen such similar operation from Anonymous which was dubbed "Operation UFO"
Press Release of Anonymous:- 
"Greetings citizens of the world. We now have the knowledge of the illuminati and We will share this information with you. We can perceive why those withholding this knowledge are doing so, but completely disagree, with that policy.
It is every human's birthright, to be given the truth regarding reality and our place in the universe. You are intelligent enough to come to terms with this information and therefore We know You will not suffer. You will have your reality and belief system challenged, but You Will benefit from it's disclosure. When this Data is released in the coming weeks, first impressions will be disbelief, due to Your own mind calling out fake and impossible! However, You will be guided through this experience of learning.
It will be an extremely Hard lesson to learn once you become one of the knowing, and it will be no easy ride (Psychologically speaking). For as we stated your perception of reality and belief systems are challenged to the highest degree. Once this battle has conspired, You will emerge reborn with the knowledge of the universe and all that is.
You will not instantly know every aspect of the reality which has been denied you. Instead it will be up to. You to perceive the information being released and use Your mind and inner light to connect with those the ancients called the Gods, thus receiving more answers.
You are in receipt of their messages yet You choose to ignore them, as the conditioning You have endured willingly, creates a 'Mind-set' that refuses to acknowledge them. What you refuse to know in your mind, You will refuse to see
with your eyes. Those whom try and refute this evidence (and there will be many), are those that keep your mind in bondage, do not trust them, instead trust your own intuition. The data which we release will be visual and verbal. All we ask of You, is to promote it and translate it into Your own language and the language of others, be it verbal or sign. When this message has become viral on the internet, we will then disclose the truth.
This message is to prepare the way for the teaching of what is. The coming videos will explain all. When folk see what they have there will be (as stated in this video) much disbelief and cries of impossible, debunking and denial, however no-one will be able to refute official images and footage!. But one must realise the only threat to humanity is those that hide the truth and have been doing so since the early 1900's.
Peace..."

Anontune - New Social Music Platform By #Anonymous

Anontune - New Social Music Platform By #Anonymous 

After the launch of AnonBin, alternative of PasteBin now hacktvist group is reportedly putting together a social music platform that will surely ruffle the RIAA's feathers. The project is called Anontune, and is designed to pull songs from third-party sources like YouTube. Users can throw the songs into playlists and share them with friends. The Anontune service relies on executing a Java applet. "Unless you are extremely trusting or using VMWare, you should think very carefully about running code on your machine that was written by members of Anonymous,"

They insist that Anontune will not host copyrighted material and will not be streaming music or offering downloads of copyrighted material. Instead, they plan to focus on information and they compare the platform to a search engine. "The information can be used to play and centralize pervasive music across the Internet on one platform." It's unclear exactly how this site will operate, but Anonymous seems to think that the law will be on their side this.  "The idea is that if all songs were easily accessible and centralized on one user-friendly platform that it would be possible to hijack all current users of music piracy solutions," Anonymous describes in an Anontune white paper (pdf).

Anonymous Hit USTelecom & Tech America To Protest Against CISPA (#OpDefense)

Anonymous Hit USTelecom & Tech America To Protest Against CISPA (#OpDefense

As expected the protest against Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) took place. The hacker group Anonymous claimed responsibility for taking down the websites of USTelecom and Tech America while engaging massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack, which both back the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act of 2011. Both sites remained unreachable as of Monday afternoon. A member of Anonymous posted a YouTube video showing USTelecom's site down Sunday, and the site was down for about 24 hours, according to a USTelecom spokesman. The trade group discovered that the site was down at about 6 a.m. Monday, he said. 
Last Friday Anonymous released a YouTube video threatening supporters of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, a bill focused on encouraging U.S. government agencies and private businesses to trade information about cyberattacks. The bill would harm the Internet, the video said. "We will unleash the worst pain on those who threaten our existence," the video added. The video declared Operation Defense (CISPA) and these two attacks ware the part of this ongoing operation. Earlier we have seen massive protest from not only hackers but also different part of the world in case of controversial SOPA, PIPA & ACTA. So again the history reveled for CISPA.

Anonymous Hacked 2,725 Emails Of Tunisia's Ruling Party Ennahda & Prime Minister

Anonymous Hacked 2,725 Emails Of Tunisia's Ruling Party Ennahda  & Prime Minister of Tunisia
A hacker group named Anonymous Tunisia (Anonymous TN) claimed that it has hacked over 2,725 emails belonging to Tunisia's ruling Ennahda party, including those of the prime minister, in the latest challenge to the Islamist-led government. The activist said the emails include phone numbers, bank transactions and invoices paid during Tunisia's election campaign in October, in which Ennahda won more than 40 percent of parliament seats, going on to lead the government. One of the emails was from Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali, a senior Ennahda official, to the Turkish embassy, attaching Foreign Minister Rafik Abdesslem's CV. According to a YouTube video posted by the hacker group said the emails were released in protest against Ennahda's alleged failure to protect the unemployed and artists who were attacked by Salafi Islamists during a recent protest. 
"To the Tunisian government, we have kept a large part of your data secret. If you do not wish to see these published on the internet we ask you to work to the best of your ability to avoid internet censorship and to respect human rights and the freedom of expression in Tunisia," the activist said. Government officials declined detailed comment on the security breach but said many of the emails appeared to be old. 
Earlier in 2011 hacker from Anonymous has took down several govt. websites of Tunisia. Also few months ago a hacker from hacker collective Anonymous named CaliforniaKB took responsibility of hacking into the Hizb ut-Tahrir -Tunisian Islamist Liberation Party official website. This hack was a part of Operation Tunisia (#OpTunisia). If you talk about mail hack then we would like to give you reminder that couple of months ago Anonymous has hacked into the Syrian President Bashar Assad's E-mail-Id & exposed all the details. Also few weeks ago another hacktvist group named Teamgreyhat has hacked into the email id of Bangladesh Prime Minister.

#LulzSec Planned To Back Again On April Fool's Day (#Project Mayhem!)

#LulzSec Planned To Back Again On April Fool's Day (#Project Mayhem!)
We have good news for Hacktivist supporters and parallely bad news for corrupt Govt & Industries. Infamous hacker collective group named Lulzsec or Lulz Security promised to back live again on the day of 1st April. According to a You-Tube video - "Several days ago we decided to swiftly bring back our humble hacking group and set sail towards the Interwebz once again, much to the dismay of corrupt governments and corporations across the planet. It's ridiculous to believe that by arresting the six prime members of LulzSec that you've stopped us. You haven't stopped us, you have merely disrupted the active faction". The group announced that it would officially resume attacks on April 1, 2012. The video continued, "Lulzsec will start targeting governments, corporations, agencies, and quite possibly the people watching this video. We are here for the lulz, the fame, the anarchy, and the people." 
Since last 30 days we have seen many key members of Lulz & Anonymous are randomly getting busted by Federal authorities, so it can be suspected that coming April attack will be a tit for tat.  The announcement was previewed one day prior via the FawkesSecurity Twitter channel in a tweet that read, "Expect something BIG and rather Lulzworthy very soon. CIA, FBI, Interpol, you're all on teh (sic) list." Wednesday, meanwhile, tweets from the same Twitter channel promised that "Anonymous will target national infrastructure" and create a "global financial meltdown" as part of what's been dubbed "Project Mayhem." 
One thing is very unclear and that is the Twitter account AnonOps, which has 302,000 followers, has not mentioned Project Mayhem, Project Facebook, Operation Imperva, Operation Restore, or anything else on FawkesSecurity’s YouTube account. Furthermore, the Twitter account LulzSec is still silent and lulzsecurity.com is still down. So now it depends on you that how you will react this one, may be April Fool joke or may be some thing else.

Anonymous Released Sensitive Conference Call Between FBI & Scotland Yard

Anonymous Released Sensitive Conference Call Between FBI & Scotland Yard

Hacktivist Anonymous continuing their F**k Friday rampage. In the last Friday they have recorded & released a sensitive conference call between the FBI and Scotland Yard. 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. FBI source said that "The information was intended for law enforcement," the source also told that 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 "We've set back arrests of Kayla and T-flow until we know what's happening," 
In a pastebin Anon also released a email titled "Anon-Lulz International Coordination Call" with with all the email-ids of FBI & Scotland Yard officers, time, Access Code and detailed time. In their twitter AnoymousIRC said "The FBI might be curious how we're able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now." 
Anon made the conference call available for download in mp3 and also released a YouTube video
