Anonymous 'intercept FBI and Scotland Yard phone call'

reply to Cudni
I have a feeling the group will largely be disassembled this year one way or another. They are doing too much too quick and are attracting too much attention. They will slip & they will fall.

They are already starting to oust some of their own members for various reasons All it takes is one of those individuals to know anything about others. They will be all for identifying others to get reduced sentences and stuff.

I understand and am aware of that.
At some point someone is going to know enough. Will happen this year.

Anonymous = Earth Liberation Front, only with computers.

Probably not until computer security really tightens down across the board, across all companies, countries and industries.

For example, you've got everyone and their brother installing conferencing equipment, but is there any comprehensive and cohesive security plan also being put into place with those installations?

You've got various industries and utilities computerizing monitoring and operations, but has anyone installed more than the mere password-access security software?

When my govt. agency computerized, my office IT person was someone who had been a non-tech supervisor who got sent off for a few weeks training. How many other businesses also just tap one of their employees to be their IT person merely because they know which button on the computer is the on/off one?

The fact that Anonymous can hack into the sites they have - the ones that the public would think would be secure - just illustrates how much low-hanging fruit there is to keep them active for a long time. And they don't need a central organization, just like-minded hackers who are willing to allow credit for the hack to be claimed by the group.

It will happen.

Some previous posts and topics predicting it would happen, to show you why I dismiss it as wishful thinking:

did they intercept the call, or did someone find a recording of it on some server?

or maybe it was leaked for some nefarious purpose.

I agree they won't be stopped, but their activities will be publicized to provide fodder for SOPA/PIPA advocates to advance their legislation in the name of "national security".

What they did was no more an intrusion than a stockbroker listening to an analyst earnings conference.

Getting the email with the conference call details -- that took some skullduggery, but certainly well within the capabilities of most script kiddies. A well-placed harpoon with a loaded .pdf... there you go.

reply to Cudni
And tracing the call if they did dial into the bridge would be near impossible. Find a cheap seedy hotel that still takes cash, give a fake name, dial the 800 number and record. even if the FBI traced the stray listener they would only go back to the hotel with the phony name.
