HP board under fire

HP's all over the news today as the Attorney General of California is launching an informal probe into what's shaping up to be quite an embarrassing scandal. Investigators are checking out a report that chairwoman Patricia Dunn hired private investigators to gain access to board members' homes and cell phone records. Meanwhile, the company is also dealing with the resignation of board member Thomas Perkins, following an investigation of the board regarding a media leak. Former head honcho Carly Fiorina [1] is likely paying close attention, as there are allegations that the board leaks may have been happening on her watch as well.
