The total number of people whose phones were hacked by journalists at the News of the World tabloid is around 800, British police said Saturday.

“We are confident that we have personally contacted all the people who have been hacked or who are likely to have been hacked,” Scotland Yard said.

Police identified 5,795 potential phone-hacking victims in material collected from Glenn Mulcaire, the private investigator at the center of the scandal who was jailed in 2007.

The scandal exploded this summer with the revelation the paper hacked into the phone of 13-year-old murder victim, Milly Dowler.

Rupert Murdoch — who also owns the New York Post — closed the tabloid. Two top London police officers and several senior Murdoch executives resigned, and more than a dozen Murdoch journalists were arrested.
