Three CNET Networks reporters filed a lawsuit against computer maker Hewlett-Packard in relation to the incident last year in which the company spied on them to determine a leak from its board, a Reuters story stated.
“A Hewlett-Packard spokesman, Ryan Donovan, told CNET that the company was ‘disappointed by their decision and will defend itself.’ He said the company had apologized to the reporters and made ‘a substantial settlement offer’ to the reporters, their relatives and charities of their choice.
“The suit stems from a scandal that rocked the company last year after disclosures that its board had hired private investigators to determine which director had leaked information about sensitive boardroom discussions to news outlets, including CNET and The Wall Street Journal.”
