Morgan Lewis has reviewed some of the approximately 1 million pages of documents it received from HP and outside investigators hired by HP to trace the news leaks. The Morgan Lewis probe found that HP hired in 2005 Security Outsourcing Services (SOS), a private security firm, to probe the first series of leaks. Two months into SOS's probe, HP's Global Security division also joined the investigation. The investigation concluded in July 2005 without being able to identify the source of those leaks. Then there was a second investigation with the help of SOS and HP Global Security.
"It is now clear that the investigation included tactics that ranged from the review of HP's internal e-mails and instant messages, to the physical surveillance of an HP Board member and at least one journalist, to the "pretexting" of telephone call information of board members, HP employees and journalists," he said, adding that SOS's legal counsel informed HP that SOS's investigative techniques were legal.
