Patricia Dunn, Hewlett-Packard's embattled former chairman and four others involved in spying on journalists HP employees and board members, will be indicted Wednesday by California Attorney General Bill Lockyer, according to a published report.

The others expected to be indicted are Kevin T. Hunsaker, HP's former senior lawyer; Ronald DeLia, a private detective; Joseph DePante, owner of Action Research Group, a data-brokering company; and Bryan Wagner, a Colorado man believed to have been an employee of Action Research, according to a story in the New York Times.

The report says that the five will be accused of four felony charges: using of false or fraudulent pretenses to obtain confidential information from a public utility, unauthorized access to computer data, identity theft, and conspiracy to commit each of those crimes, the Times reported.
