Here’s what to know on Dell’s investigation of recent hacker claims.

Hacker Claims

According to multiple media reports, a threat actor on Thursday claimed to have posted data pertaining to Dell employees on a hacker forum.

The hacker reportedly described the claimed incident as a “minor data breach,” and suggested that data from more than 10,000 Dell employees was impacted.

Dell had approximately 120,000 employees as of Feb. 2, the company disclosed in its most recent annual filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Allegedly Impacted Data

The hacker forum post indicated that the allegedly stolen data included unique identifiers for employees, names of Dell employees and partners and employee status.

A report from BleepingComputer indicated that a small amount of allegedly stolen data was posted for free on the hacker forum.

The threat actor is claiming to offer a link to the full database for a credit equivalent to 30 cents, according to the report.

Dell’s Response

In a statement provided to media outlets including CRN Friday, Dell confirmed that it’s looking into the reported allegations.

“We are aware of the claims and our security team is currently investigating,” Dell said in the statement.

CRN reached out to Dell on Friday afternoon, EDT, to ask if there is any further comment.

The allegations follow Dell’s notification to customers in May, which indicated the company investigating a security “incident” involving a portal that contains a database with limited types of customer information related to Dell purchases.

The May incident did not pose a “significant risk” to customers, according to an email sent by Dell to customers at the time.
