They have a European arm, but I can't find any reference to Phorm on their site. It looks as if it would be right up their alley.
I know nothing about this group, they may be a bunch of chancers with even bigger tin foil hats than most, but you never know.
They are a legit organisation, formed by Mitch Kapoor, among others. If you don't know who Mitch Kapoor is, he wrote Lotus 123 (ancient spreadsheet) and created (and still runs) Mozilla.

For a brief history, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro...ier_Foundation

Also, for a detailed account of their early history, and an early action they undertook, see the freeware ebook, the hacker crackdown http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/101 (excellent read if you are interested in the subject btw).
