British officials on the call discussed efforts to help U.S. investigators track down the hackers, some of whom also face charges in the UK. They described what they called impressive investigative work recovering data from the suspects' hard drives. The 16-minute call was posted on the Internet Friday. The group of hackers known as Anonymous claimed responsibility for the breach, but the FBI did not name the group and said a criminal investigation is ongoing. The British officials on the call also discussed violations at Steam, a U.S.-based gaming site, and offered information about a teenage suspect in the UK. In November, Steam informed its customers that its website had been defaced and accounts may have been compromised. The agent on the call told his counterparts that the investigation was being handled by agents in Baltimore. The FBI said no agency security e-mails or other computer systems were breached. Instead, it appears overseas law enforcement officers who were invited to an FBI call forwarded to their private e-mail accounts information that was obtained as a result of the hack. It appears the discussion left British police not taking the suspect, who used the nickname TehWongZ, too seriously, referring to him as a "fanboy" and "pain in the arse." The call mainly consisted of an FBI agent in the U.S. and his counterpart investigating the breach at Scotland Yard discussing developments. "Information is for law enforcement use only and was illegally obtained," the FBI said. "A criminal investigation is underway to identify and hold accountable those responsible." Much of the call was joking and strayed from work-related conversation. A Twitter feed purportedly belonging to TehWongZ said he suspected his hard drive was in the hands of the FBI, but added, "Tho I've never been arrested." A spokesman for London's Metropolitan Police said the agency was aware the call was intercepted and "no operational risk has been identified." The spokesman said the FBI is investigating the matter. The breach is an embarrassment for law enforcement, which is trying to figure out how to stop cybercrime that knows no borders. A Twitter account that claims to be associated with Anonymous suggested the hackers had been monitoring FBI communications for a while. Valve, Steam's parent company, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The group said it made the call as part of a series of similar actions targeting law enforcement around the world. The group is a loose affiliation of hackers and activists with no formal structure or membership. The FBI in Washington said criminals hacked into a teleconference between its agents and overseas law enforcement officers about cybercrime.
