I have left off the public victims such as murder/terrorist victims and suspects etc etc for common decency, and have just included famous victims where intrusion of privacy was the only crime. Although only 64 people (at the time of writing) have been proven to have been hacked, over 4000 people are thought to have been by police. This quiz may be added to as more names are released and proven. Leave suggestions and rate!

not sure it's appropriate to include the 'media' people as victims, aren't they the perpetrators?

They were warned by police as is mentioned by the police and i would not be surprised if they were kept tabs on with the stuff they were involved with. Got to agree with you though, they're not 'victims' in the slightest, unless it is to their own disregard for the law.

Good list, the exclusion of public victims is much appreciated.
