HP Chairwoman in for a Spanking !
HP’s new chairwoman Patricia Dunn has resigned, effective immediately, after her part in the corporate spying scandal that has dogged the company for weeks was revealed.
Under orders from Ms Dunn, HP hired a team of private investigators to investigate the leaks of confidential corporate information to CNET News during 2005.
The P.I.s have been (illegally) accessing the private telephone records of HP board-members and journalists without their permission, as part of their dubious tactics in order to learn who among the board of directors had revealed corporate secrets.
