DrDevil writes "A member of the computer hacking group Anonymous has hacked into a telephone conference between the FBI and Scotland Yard (London Police) and posted it on the internet. The Daily Telegraph has a comprehensive article on the hack. The audio of the call can be heard here." Reader eldavojohn snips as well from the AP's story as carried by Google: "Those on the call talk about what legal strategy to pursue in the cases of Ryan Cleary and Jake Davis — two British suspects linked to Anonymous — and discuss details of the evidence gathered against other suspects."

They have not developed the ability to intercept FBI calls.
They have developed the ability to read their emails, in which the credintials for logging into a phone conference are in plain text.

It's just "Stasi" -- it's not an acronym. (It's short for Staatssicherheit, which in turn is short for Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, which roughly translates to National Security Agency -- well, Ministry of State Security.)
