Patricia Dunn, who it seemed
allowed private investigators to use pretexting to obtain information on media leaks from board members at HP, is apparently done working for HP as chair and on the board. Amidst rumors that HP CEO Mark Hurd
had something to do with the "sting operation," Dunn has stepped down from her role as chairwoman this week and resigned from the board as well, at the board's request instead of staying on until January as she originally said. Congress will hold a hearing on the incident on September 28th, and has invited members of HP's management and of the security contractor who performed the "pretexting" operation to appear at the hearing. All because someone on HP's board was allegedly leaking information to members of the media. Peachy.
