Investigative techniques used

 

·      Four principal methods were used to conduct the investigation: obtaining telephone and facsimile call information through “pretexting;” the use of social security numbers to obtain phone call information through “pretexting;” sending an e-mail that had an attached tracing mechanism; and the surveillance of individuals. 

·      These techniques were used in addition to traditional investigatory techniques, such as the review of other articles written by the journalists with access to the source of the leak and a search of HP internal records.
