"US presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina has boasted that HP sold the NSA servers that allowed the agency to build a system for mass surveillance.
Servers originally earmarked for retail customers were shipped to the NSA instead, to power a warrantless surveillance programme codenamed “Stellar Wind”, approved by then-president George W Bush in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. Former NSA director Michael Hayden contacted then-HP boss Fiorina with an urgent request for kit in the weeks after 9/11.
