I wonder if they made the case that some sort of confidentiality agreement had been breeched; what did they uncover?

I have no idea what they found. This was before email, cell phones, and much of the rest; even fax machines were rare. We had computers, but only to operate the instrumentation. Most of those computers were specific to an instrument, and did nothing else.

The idea that a corporation can request the phone records of the local company AND GET THEM made everyone queasy at the time, and rightly so.

P&G was nutty about security, but not always logical. They hired ex-FBI guys. If you left a shopping list on your desk at night, unlocked, you might find a nastygram in the morning BUT at the same time, they hired legions of temps with NO LOYALTY who worked on projects the company was betting on. Some of these people waltzed across town and joined Kao (aka Jergens).
