What Information Was Involved? The exposed information includes customer names, physical addresses, and Dell hardware and order details. Importantly, no financial data, email addresses, or telephone numbers were compromised.

What is Dell Doing Dell has initiated an investigation, implemented security measures, and is working with law enforcement. They are also engaging with a third-party forensics firm to further analyze the incident.

What You Can Do Stay vigilant for phishing attempts that may use the stolen information. Be cautious of unsolicited communications asking for personal or financial details, and do not insert unknown flash drives into your devices.
