Dell customer order database of '49M records' stolen, now up for sale on dark web

Dell confirmed a portal compromise that resulted in the theft of customer and order data—reported by a third party as up to 49 million records—containing names, physical addresses, Dell hardware and order details (service tags, item description, order date, warranty info). Dell says financial/payment data, emails, and phone numbers were not included; the company is investigating, working with a forensic firm and law enforcement, notifying affected customers, and warning them to watch for scam attempts using the exposed information.
