hewlett packard and "pretexting"
« on: October 03, 2006, 08:43:25 PM »
aaah, how cute, the company my dad works for got busted for social engineering.  and i used that term at the dinner table and dad actually knew what i was talking about, adorable.
yes, i know this happened like a month ago, but i've been busy.  HP suspected one of its board members of leaking info and long story short, hired a PI who then social engineered his way to get said board members phone records.  too cute.
