German telecom charged with spying on journalists
From Ars Technica:
Deutsche Telekom, the European Union’s largest telecommunications firm and owner of the U.S. wireless carrier T-Mobile, stands accused of snooping on business journalists, members of its supervisory board, and its own executives in an attempt to uncover the source of leaks to the press.
. . .
The case bears a striking resemblance to the 2006 Hewlett Packard pretexting scandal, in which the company hired private investigators who obtained employee phone records under false pretenses.
