HP Spying More Extensive Than Acknowledged

HeadlineSep 18, 2006

And finally, there are new developments in the Hewlett-Packard spy case. An internal review has found spying and surveillance in the company’s secret investigation into news leaks was more extensive than has been previously disclosed. The New York Times reports detectives hired by top executives tried to plant spy software on at least one journalist’s computer. The detectives also followed members of the company’s board and possibly a journalist in its attempt to identify a source who leaked information to the media. The case has already led to the resignation of the company’s former chair and two board members.
