Pretexting victims sue HP

From the LA Times:

A group of reporters and their family members whose private telephone records were secretly obtained as part of Hewlett-Packard Co.'s boardroom surveillance scheme sued the technology giant and two former executives Wednesday.

This lawsuit is the latest development in the HP boardroom scandal that erupted last year, sparking public debate and launching a Congressional investigation on the fraudulent gathering of private phone records and personal infromation know as pretexting.
