What the Hewlett-Packard Spies Did

They sure did a lot of stuff to get the leak.

Documents have shown that investigators working for HP intruded into the personal lives of seven HP directors, two employees, nine reporters and family members of the targeted individuals. In addition to impersonating those targeted to procure phone records, they also spied on an HP director and his wife, sifted through their garbage, and concocted an e-mail sting to dupe reporter Dawn Kawamoto of CNet Networks Inc.'s technology news site.

It kind of sounds like what paparazzi do to stars sometimes. That going through the garbage thing especially.
