More: H-P Investigators Also Hacked Reporters' Phone Records

Bob Sullivan writes for MSNBC:

In an effort to track down the source of information leaks by Hewlett Packard insiders, private investigators hired by the company obtained reporters' telephone records without permission, the company told MSNBC.com on Thursday.

The reporters' records were accessed as part of an investigation into news leaks that was initiated by company Chairwoman Patricia Dunn.

HP spokesman Michael Moeller confirmed that the personal phone records of reporters from CNET.com and the Wall Street Journal had been accessed by investigators working for the company. He said that "there are other journalists" whose records were improperly accessed, but would not say how many others were involved.
