Dell has confirmed that it's investigating claims about a breach that apparently exposed the data of over 10,000 employees.

The Dell data breach – originally reported by the BleepingComputer website – was posted by the grep profile on a data breach community forum. It said that Dell had suffered a “minor data breach that exposed internal employees data”, before going on to state that more than 10,800 Dell employees and their partners had been affected.

Computer manufacturing giant Dell is looking into claims that its infrastructure was breached and sensitive data on thousands of employees stolen. Late last week, a threat actor with the alias ‘grep’ posted a new thread on the infamous dark web forum BreachForums.
