don't and stop are the ONLY two 4-letter words considered offensive to men, but not when used together.

Tapped is a bit of a strong word. Someone intercepted the email with the conference access number and PIN, then just dialed in and listened.

Which illustrates that security is only as strong as the weakest link...

...and which demonstrates a need for tighter procedures. Sending a PIN by email? And was the email even encoded or secured?

You are right. I changed the title to reflect that. Thanks.

I think its funny now the FEDS can be recorded and spied on like they do to us. I just wanted to say this group will not stop doing this even if the feds get more smarter then this group because you can never out smart a great hacker like this. Unless they catch somebody in this group and turn them into a informant which I doubt they would do against there own group for lessor prison term.

Re: [Other] FBI/Scotland Yard Conference Calls Intercepted?

This is a different kind of hacker group. Some of their members have already been arrested, including their spokesperson and when this happened, Kevin Mitnick stated that it's a matter of time before he gives up the rest of the main members of anonymous. So far it appears that Sabu and some of their other skilled hackers have remained anonymous.

I think part of the reason why their most skilled hackers are able to avoid getting arrested is because they've done such a great job spreading misinformation about their own identities. Sabu has been "exposed" so many different times. One day there's "evidence" that he lives in Brazil. A week later he's a New Yorker and it continues.

It takes guts, intelligence and careful planning to take on the FBI and large corporations and be able to avoid being exposed.

Respectfully, this is a poorly worded sentence. I hope you meant:

"Some of their members have already been arrested, including their spokesperson and when this happened, Kevin Mitnick stated that it's a matter of time before the spokesperson gives up the rest of the main members of anonymous."

because your original wording implies that Kevin Mitnick would give up the members, and hence he's involved with the anonymous hacker group. But Kevin's a "good guy" now.

What I meant is that Kevin Mitnick said (actually tweeted) that the anonymous spokesperson would tell the authorities everything he knows about other members of anonymous.

Kevin may be a "good guy" but so are some of the members of anonymous. Those who are involved with the anonymous hacking group aren't necessarily bad guys, as your wording implies.

I may not agree with their methods or some of their targets, but I sure as hell respect the fact that they're "out there" doing something instead of lining up to buy Foxconn products or trying to figure out if JT/Rihanna are gonna hook up or not.
