Corporate Watergate
I apologize for being so absent from posting lately....I realize it is very un-Trevor like. I hope to be back to daily posts again soon.
In the meantime, if you haven't done so I encourage to take a look at all of the things that have been going on with Hewlett-Packard lately. There are at least 10 different sub-plots to the story, so I won't even try and link to them all. But a good place to start is here.
In a nutshell, HP chairwoman Patricia Dunn (who recently stepped down) authorized surveillance of HP boardmembers (and family members) on suspicion of leaking confidential information to the press. This included obtaining confidential phone records, tracking boardmembers and reporters, and even attempting to place tracking software on a reporter's computer. And today several members of HP resigned after being subpeonaed by federal officials. And please bear in mind that this is but the tip of the revelations surrounding this story!
It's been an amazing story to watch. Here, here and here are just a few of the stories that will help fill in some of the blanks.
And in an amazing irony, it was recently reported that HP is the corporate sponsor for the upcoming Privacy Innovation Awards! LOL...you just can't make this stuff up!
