Computer Hacking Scandal Could Rival That Of Phones
The level of computer hacking could rival the scandal surrounding that of mobile phones, as it emerges Gordon Brown's emails were hacked into by investigators contracted by tabloids.
Police investigating the computer hacking said they have uncovered evidence that emails sent and received by Gordon Brown during his time as Chancellor were illegally accessed.
Private communications and emails belonging to a former Labour adviser and lobbyist, Derek Draper, were also identified by Scotland Yard's Operation Tuleta team.
The team said they were currently looking at evidence from around 20 computers revealing hundreds of individuals may have had their private emails hacked.
In November, a 52-year-old man was arrested in Milton Keynes "on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences". He was the first person arrested under Operation Tuleta and was subsequently released on police bail.
Meanwhile, it is being reported that the level of phone hacking could involve as many victims as those involved in the News of the World phone-hacking scandal.
News International declined to comment on the recent computer hacking revelations.
