Gawker said:
This is pretty crazy: Anonymous, as part of their regular "##### FBI Friday" release, leaked a 16 minute phone call between the FBI and their counterparts in the UK. England's Sky News has confirmed with the FBI the call's legitimacy.
The call was apparently recorded on January 17, and arranged by FBI special agent Timothy Lauster to discuss the prosecution of hackers associated with the group LulzSec. The contents of the call are embarrassing: participants discuss the upcoming arrests of Lulzsec members who go by the names Kayla and TFlow. And they reveal that British authorities secretly tried to delay British court proceedings against previously arrested LulzSec members, British teenagers Jake Davis and Ryan Cleary, to give the FBI more time to move in on the ones that haven't been arrested yet.

But the biggest worry for the feds is the fact that Anonymous apparently has access to their email, with which they planned the hack. Along with the call they posted the email between agents arranging the call. An Anonymous twitter account boasted. "The #FBI might be curious how we're able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now."

Ouch ouch ouch! That is got to hurt , would not want to be Timothy Lauster today .The only question would be : Why did they go public with this? It would've seem in their advantage to continue with this interceptions ....
Could have the FBI spotted this leak?

Wow, now FBI are screwed. All the criminals can now simply listen to this video and see if their on the list and escape.
What Anonymous should have done is simply list the names of the people who FBI want and then they could have easily escaped, plus Anonymous could have still kept intercepting and also had publicity. However, at least exploits in the apparently most secure firms on Earth were shown.
