The former Northern Ireland Secretary, Peter Hain, is understood to have been warned by police that his computer may have been hacked.
According to the Guardian newspaper, it is thought that any hacking may have been carried out by private detectives working for News International.
Computers belonging to other senior Northern Ireland civil servants may also have been compromised.
A spokesman for Mr Hain said the matter is a "matter of national security".
Mr Hain was Secretary of State for Northern Ireland from 2005 to 2007, was involved in peace negotiations and as a result would have had access to sensitive security data.
