From the Sydney Morning Herald:
SCOTLAND Yard will expand its investigation of News of the World, adding a new inquiry into possible instances of computer intrusion to the accusations of phone hacking and payments to police officers.
The new investigation was opened after an examination of ''a number of allegations regarding breach of privacy'' received since the Metropolitan Police reopened inquiries in January into possible crimes by newspaper employees, a police statement said.
A police spokesman declined to answer further questions. But former British Army intelligence officer Ian Hurst said in a statement that he had been contacted by investigators over allegations that he had made ''in regards to my family's computer being illegally accessed over a sustained period during 2006.''

Is there any illegal snooping these thugs WEREN'T engaged in? Kosacks should consider changing their important computer passwords, as it has already been shown the Murdochs continue to hack and/or attempt blackmail in their efforts to contain the scandal.
The Murdoch family crime syndicate really needs to be incarcerated. The English language doesn't have strong enough adjectives to describe these vermin.
UPDATE 1:
From our Ace FOTHOM-tracker AnnetteK in the comments:
Link to longer artcle about the intelligence officer with VID. It's from Sky News (Ducking head), actually, they are reporting this quite well. Maybe they want to be rid of the Murdiochs as much as we do.
The vid is well worth the look, can't embed sorry.

Scotland Yard is launching an investigation into information allegedly gathered illegally from him by a private investigator who, it is alleged, was working for the tabloid.
Mr Hurst, who spent 12 years gathering information for the Government, said: "The private investigator has admitted that he placed a computer trojan on my hard drive and obtained, over a three-month period, all the email traffic coming in and out.
