Dell Customer Data Breach?
Several months ago I received a phone call from someone claiming to be from Dell. he knew my name, phone number, address, and the date I purchased a Dell computer. He knew the details of service requests I placed with Dell. In other words he had data that only resided on Dell's customer service database. I informed Dell of this and asked whether they had a data breach. Dell denied this.
Tonight, I received 2 phone calls: first to my house phone and then immediately to my cell phone. "Sam" again claimed to be from Dell and he once again started rattling off data on my Dell purchase. This time he had my cell phone number nad knew it was also linked to my Dell purchase.
When will Dell admit to this data breach and tell its customers what it is doing for them? My information has been compromised as have countless others. Acknowledge this, tell us what you will do for us and let's move on. Stop denying that the information didnt come from an internal server
