Dell investigates data breach claims after hacker leaks employee info

Posted by in category: cybercrime/malcode

Dell has confirmed to BleepingComputer that they are investigating recent claims that it suffered a data breach after a threat actor leaked the data for over 10,000 employees.

The allegations were published yesterday by a threat actor named “grep,” who alleges that the computing vendor suffered a “minor data breach” in September 2024, exposing internal employee and partner information.

In a post to a hacking forum, the threat actor says the stolen data includes employees’ unique identifiers, full names of employees for Dell and partners, status of employees (active or not), and an internal identification string.
