Dell is confirming a data breach that reportedly covers “49 million customer records,” according to Bleeping Computer. While Dell is confirming that a breach occurred, the scope of the breach hasn’t been confirmed. A hacker on the Dark Web is reportedly claiming that the breach involves the 49 million records, with information that dates back seven years ago to 2017.
What Dell is telling people, according to the report, is that name, address, and hardware, service, and order information was leaked. If you’ve purchased anything from Dell, or engaged with customer support for a service or warranty request, that information is likely available to whoever wants to buy the information.
So far, Dell is not saying that any financial information was breached, including credit cards or payment information, or even your telephone number or email address.
