The HP case has been rumbling on for ages. Lots about it on the BBC
website. It started because they had a boardroom leak, and how the
investigation proceeded:

The unauthorised acquisition of phone bills is classic s55 stuff, and
you may recall that earlier this year the IC issued a report saying how
he was concerned that in practice the penalties (especially against PIs)
were too weak. After that the DCA issued a consultation, but I've not
seen any results (nor looked especially hard - does anyone know what
stage that's got to??)
