We have compiled a list of alleged victims of phone hacking. Some of those listed here have settled with News International in court; others are still waiting for the results of the Met Police's Operation Weeting, which is investigating private investigator Glenn Mulcaire's notes.

Operation Weeting announced in July 2011 that there could be approximately 4,000 victims and that they were working to contact them as quickly as possible.
