London, April 13: British police launched an investigation on Thursday after hackers linked to the anti-establishment group Anonymous blocked an anti-terrorism hotline and illegally recorded officers from Britain's top security unit discussing their actions.
An activist group called Team Poison jammed the hotline with repeated calls - socalled "phone bombing" , preventing those with genuine concerns from getting through in the latest attack on a high-profile institution.
"We are aware of an issue whereby hoaxers have made calls to the Anti-Terrorist hotline and have made recordings of their conversations with Anti-Terrorist hotline staff," London's metropolitan police service said.
"Officers are looking into the matter and appropriate action will be taken."
