Hewlett-Packard Complies With Probe

Hewlett-Packard Co. supplied information to the House Energy and Commerce Committee about how the company obtained private phone records during an investigation of media leaks.

The committee asked for information about HP’s probe Sept. 11 after the Palo Alto-based company acknowledged that its investigators used fake identities to collect the private phone records of two employees, some directors and nine journalists. The House is investigating the practice, which is called pretexting.
