Phone records are safe, except for HP board members
September 6th, 2006That’s a joke, by the way. Phone records have long been accessible by surrepitous means. But if you were a recent member of Hewlett Packard’s board of directors, your phone records were more than fair game.
Techdirt has done a good job summarizing this story, so I won’t bother. No, actually I wouldn’t bother anyway. It’s just too damn disgusting.
***UPDATE***
The phone records of reporters involved in “the leaks” weren’t safe either.
***UPDATE 2***
Looks the probe snagged the phone records of someone’s retired father too. You dog was in the room when the vet was talking with their adulterous lover - your phone records are now up for grabs.
