News Of The World In A World Of Trouble

LONDON (Reuters) – Rupert Murdoch's British news arm faces a rush of fresh compensation claims and could be exposed to criminal prosecution after admitting its role in a long-running phone hacking scandal, lawyers said on Saturday.

"There will be a massive flood of people contacting lawyers," said lawyer Charlotte Harris of law firm Mishcon de Reya.

Though this was breaking news and many details haven't been confirmed, this is a serious breach of security.  To cover the span of time and targets the article implies, this may be a massive scandal that implicates many.  From famous actresses to politicians, it appears reporters were helping themselves to private conversations, a serious no-no in any country.
