HP spying was elaborate

The NY Times has the details. Attempted bugging of a journalist’s computer, gathering of phone records and spying on their own board members - all with “some degree of supervision” from the CEO and general counsel, and happening earlier and more extensively than previously thought.
The more HP stonewalls this, the worse it will be for them.
Amusingly, the NY Times article is clearly the result of leaks from inside HP.

Leaked details of a secret internal investigation at HP suggest that the investigation was overseen by Dunn and two of the company’s legal staff before it was handed to a network of private investigators. The investigation appears to have found that the illicit monitoring of phone records was a part of the operation from the start.

Honestly I am not surprised that HP was spying.
