California Investigates Hewlett-Packard's Spying on Its Directors
Stepping into a fight among some powerful Silicon Valley players, California Atty. Gen. Bill Lockyer on Wednesday said he had launched a criminal investigation into whether Hewlett-Packard Co. broke laws by spying on directors to determine who was leaking boardroom information to the media. Lockyer's announcement followed the company's disclosure earlier in the day that it had deceived telephone companies into releasing data on directors' personal phone calls.
