British tabloid News of the World has angered yet another celebrity by allegedly hacking into their cell phone data. This time, it's Sienna Miller, who is set to join the fight in suing the Rupert Murdoch-owned newspaper.
The Guardian reports Miller is taking legal action against the tabloid, which is already fending off similar claims by public figures like Steve Coogan and Chris Tarrant, for allegedly hacking into her phone and listening to private messages.
The move came after Miller, 28, discovered that the newspaper's private investigator, Glen Mulcaire, had acquired her cell phone numbers, account number and pin in order to snatch her voicemails.

The move came after Miller, 28, discovered that the newspaper's private investigator, Glen Mulcaire, had acquired her cell phone numbers, account number and pin in order to snatch her voicemails.
Miller sued the tabloid in 2008 for taking nude photos of her on a closed set, but the lawsuit was settled with an apology letter and damages.
Mulcaire also reportedly hacked into phones belonging to Coogan and Tarrant, who are involved in the lawsuit as well.
Police investigated the News of the World for the hacking reports last year, and had information on Miller's case, but held the information from Miller for 14 weeks in 2009.
