So, back in 2016 I wrote a story about Dell customers getting inundated with spam spoofing the company and referencing the recipient's real name and actual Dell service tag ID for the recipient's computer. Dell responded by asking customers who receive these messages to report them.

Today, Dell disclosed a breach involving "a Dell portal" which contained customer names, physical addresses, and Dell hardware and order information, including service tag, item description, date of order and related warranty info."

I've asked Dell when they discovered this and how long they believe the intruders had access.
