[Snip]An Australian Federal Police boast, on the ABC's Four Corners program, about officers breaking up an underground hacker forum, has backfired after hackers broke into a federal police computer system.[Snip]

[Snip]After the raid, the federal police covertly assumed control of the forum and began using it to gather evidence about members.[Snip]

[Snip]However, what the federal police did not know was that hackers had already cottoned on to their plan. [Snip]

[Snip]A hacker broke into the federal police's computer system and, according to a source close to the investigation, accessed both police evidence and intelligence about federal police systems such as its IP addresses.[Snip]

[Snip]"These s*** are using an automatic digital forensics and incident response tool," the hacker wrote.

"All of this [hacking] had been done within 30-40 minutes. Could of been faster if I didn't stop to laugh so much."

Regular police officers are trying to beat hackers at hacking? That's like a doctor trying to beat a wrestler at wrestling.....

Please. Stop trying to be funny.
Anyway, I think the police tried to reverse their role there.

Australian cops are s*** anyway.

I walked on one of the hoods of their cars and they couldn't do anything except yell at me.
