Investigation Into 'Recordings' Of Anti-Terrorist Hotline Calls
An investigation has been started following claims that calls made to the Metropolitan Polices’ anti-terrorist hotline were illegally recorded.
It comes after a hacking group, TeaMp0isoN, posted a recording to YouTube which appears to show them speaking to the hotline.
However BBC Home Affairs correspondent, June Kelly, said it seemed to be the hackers phoning the hotline rather than listening into other people phoning the hotline.
Scotland Yard said in a statement: "We are aware of an issue whereby telephone conversations relating to the Anti-Terrorist Hotline have been recorded.
"Officers are currently looking into the matter."
The investigation is unrelated to the ongoing probes into News International.
