HP Settles Spying Scandal with Journalists

HP Settles Spying Scandal with Journalists

Hewlett-Packard is still working to put 2006’s spying scandal behind them, announcing that it has reached a settlement with four journalists over allegations the company engaged in corporate espionage to ferret out a leak in its board room.

Hewlett-Packard has already paid a $14.5 million settlement in the affair, although the company admitted no wrongdoing over allegations investigators in its employ used “pretexting”—essentially, social engineering—to obtain private phone records of board members and journalists as it tried to stop leaks to the press.

Lawyer Blasts Apple’s ThinkSecret Suit

“The lawsuit against Ciarelli, Gross said, wasn’t filed by Apple to find out the sources of the leak — they could have just subpoenaed the information. Rather, it was intended to intimidate bloggers, or “citizen journalists” as they sometimes call themselves, from publishing confidential information. “

Terry Gross plans to file a motion in February to dismiss the case with the court on the grounds of First Amendment rights.

Apple has gone after several Apple fan sites claiming the publications leaked secrets and information crucial to the company’s success.
