In an effort to track down the source of information leaks by Hewlett
Packard insiders, private investigators hired by the company obtained
reporters' telephone records without permission, the company told
MSNBC.com on Thursday.

The reporters' records were accessed as part of an investigation into
news leaks that was initiated by company Chairwoman Patricia Dunn.

HP spokesman Michael Moeller confirmed that the personal phone records
of reporters from CNET.com and the Wall Street Journal had been
accessed by investigators working for the company. He said that "there
are other journalists" whose records were improperly accessed, but
would not say how many others were involved.
