Phishing the Hewlett-Packard Board of Directors???
If these allegations are true, it is a colossal blunder. Alledgedly, the HP's chairwoman, Patricia Dunn, instigated an investigation to determine the source of leaks. The Wall Street Journal today reported that someone phished for the phone records of several directors. The phisher obtained the last four digits of several directors' social security numbers and used them to phish phone records from the telephone company. Now, MSN reports they also phished several reporters' phone records.
Can this be true? Can such a stupid ethical blunder have been made by the chairwoman of Hewlett-Packard??? What a quality company it used to be. William Hewlett and David Packard must be rolling over in their graves.
