   Dell Technologies takes the privacy and confidentiality of your information seriously. We are currently investigating    an incident involving a Dell portal, which contains a database with limited types of customer information related to purchases from Dell. We believe there is not a significant risk to our customers given the type of information involved.

   What data was accessed?
   At this time, our investigation indicates limited types of customer information was accessed, including:
   Name
   Physical address
   Dell hardware and order information, including service tag, item description, date of order and related warranty   information

   The information involved does not include financial or payment information, email address, telephone number or any highly sensitive customer information.

   What is Dell doing?
   Upon identifying the incident, we promptly implemented our incident response procedures, began investigating, took steps to contain the incident and notified law enforcement. We have also engaged a third-party forensics firm to investigate this incident. We will continue to monitor the situation.


Lovely that they don't consider their customers' physical address as highly sensitive!
