SAN JOSE, Calif. AP – California’s attorney general said Silicon Valley giant Hewlett-Packard Co. had “lost its way” with an ill-fated leak probe as he filed charges against the company’s former chairwoman and four others.
Attorney General Bill Lockyer accused two ousted HP insiders – chairwoman Patricia Dunn and chief ethics officer Kevin Hunsaker – and three outside investigators – Ronald DeLia, Matthew DePante and Bryan Wagner – of violating state privacy laws in HP’s attempt to root out the source of boardroom leaks.
