Anonymous published the roughly 15-minute recording of the call on the internet on Friday, gloating on Twitter that ''the FBI might be curious how we're able to continuously read their internal comms for some time now''.
The FBI said the information ''was intended for law enforcement officers only and was illegally obtained'' but that no FBI systems were breached. It added that ''a criminal investigation is under way to identify and hold accountable those responsible''.
It is not entirely clear how the hackers got their hands on the recording, which appears to have been edited to bleep out the names of some of the suspects being discussed.
Amid the material published by Anonymous was an email purportedly sent by an FBI agent to international law enforcement agencies. It invites foreign counterparts to join the call to ''discuss the ongoing investigations related to Anonymous … and other associated splinter groups'' on January 17 at 4pm.
The message - addressed to officials in the Britain, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden and France - contained a phone number and password for accessing the call.
A law enforcement official, speaking anonymously because the matter is under investigation, said authorities were looking at the possibility the message was intercepted when an email account of one of the invited participants was compromised.
