WASHINGTON — The international hackers group known as Anonymous turned the tables on the F.B.I. by listening in on a conference call last month between the bureau, Scotland Yard and other foreign police agencies about their joint investigation of the group and its allies.

spooked intelligence...

The FBI is investigating how activists linked to the Anonymous network managed to intercept a conference call between British and US police in which they discussed legal action against hackers.

Anonymous has released a tape of the call in which detectives give details of alleged hackers being tracked.

The FBI said the information had been obtained illegally.

Later, it emerged Anonymous had also hacked the websites of US police forces and the Greek justice ministry.

hacking the hackers...

Hackers identifying themselves with Antisec have attacked the website of Panda Labs' anti-malware products.

It follows yesterday's arrest of an alleged member of the movement alongside others linked to the Lulzsec hacking collective.

The site's front page was replaced with a message saying "Love to Lulzsec/Antisec fallen friends".

It accused the firm of having helped police arrest other hackers last month. The company denies the claim.

The group Lulzsec and hackers involved with "Operation Antisec" all identify themselves under the wider Anonymous heading.

Panda Lab's Spanish parent company, Panda Security, said it was investigating the intrusion but said it could assure its customers that none of their information had been compromised.
