HP Spying Incident Included Journalists
rufey writes "It is now being reported that the HP boardroom spying incident that occurred earlier this year also involved obtaining phone records of journalists from at least two news outlets. Journalists from CNET and the Wall Street Journal had their phone records obtained through a method called 'pretexting' to see who, if any, of the HP board members the journalists may have been in contact with."
not that I wish any ill will upon Declan McCullagh, but if he'd been the C|Net reporter who'd been "pretexted," this would have been a much bigger story
Declan is a faux-Libertarian goofball. I disagree with most of what he writes. He's a pro-business at-any-cost nut.
Declan will forgive HP for this crap once the dust dies down while castigating Apple for suing bloggers over leaks.
lets hope HP have learned their lesson and do not let another woman run things!
