The campaign is trying to ensure Scotland votes for independence next year.
The Yes Scotland campaign has filed a police complaint after claiming private emails were accessed.
The pro-independence group contacted BT after it received a media inquiry last week that appeared to contain information from internal correspondence, according to reports.
Police Scotland said the matter was under investigation. A spokeswoman said: “A complaint has been made by Yes Scotland regarding unauthorised access to an email account.
“The matter is being looked into.”
A Yes Scotland spokesman said: “We can confirm that a complaint has been made to Police Scotland regarding unauthorised access to Yes Scotland email.”
