If they'd compromised more than this call then you'd have heard about it - fact is they've listened into a call that a whole bunch of people from around the world were listening into... by dialing a number and entering a pin...

It seems more likely that the number/pin for this particular call got compromised than some super duper internet hackers have compromised the FBI's phone lines etc... which is what some of the news coverage seems to be suggesting.

Oh yeah, definitely, I'm not saying they're hacking phone lines or anything, I just don't think it was passed out of the organisation as an inside job. Email / password hack and then just lift the details of an email invite/calendar.

I sit on military security restricted conference calls all the time and repeatedly tell people to not put the details of the call on the calendar invite, as out company scrapes up all the information from your outlook calendar and plasters it on the directory so other people could just join as well.

Hmm not sure I believe that they hacked this directly.

yeah but this call was between multiple forces in different countries... do we know for sure that the IT bloke in the Irish Garda didn't fwd the mail or some police officer in Sweden checked his mail on his laptop in Starbucks...

I doubt anyone hacked anything... someone fwd'd the details of the call

I can screenshot all the code etc if you want to see it, I'm just uploading it because they've taken it down again.

Go ahead and post it.

I still believe this came from from reading the email.

Yep. I reckon someone grabbed the vox/audio data from somewhere and transferred it.

Just, beautiful.

I don't care how it was done... this'll annoy the FBI no end

I always see comments on here like 'oh, they're just script kiddies, it's nothing difficult to do'

obviously they are not....

That just looks like a b0rked mySQL page spat out by Wordpress, possibly in defiance at its' content being replaced by the hack.

What is bpdnews.com supposed to be hosting? A police website?

teaboy5 · 3 Feb 2012 at 16:02

I dont see how that relates to this call from the FBI? Or are you talking about something else?

That is some dump from the site which is using wordpress on the back end.

TNGL · 3 Feb 2012 at 16:06

Hahaha, now that's funny.

So the FBI/Scotland Yard are being listened into by the very people they are trying to listen to
