Watching the HP pretexting hearings.
Ton of folks involved. Everyone says someone else authorized it. The someone else’s don’t remember authorizing it, or didn’t know what they were authorizing. The CEO is getting raked across the coals on this, and looking (at least to me) like a real weasel.
So, you authorize pretexting and tracers, but you supposedly don’t know what they are, and even better, it never occurred to you that this could possibly be unethical and/or illegal?
What a bunch of schmucks.
Edit: OMG, apparently their ethics officer is part of the marketing department. Yeah, that’s brilliant.
