Some time back, I had heard about actual customers getting phone calls pretending to be Del computer people with actual info tied to a potential order of computers and things.
More recently, articles have come out about a breach now coming to light at Del Technology.
In this article recently read from Bleeping Computer, we’re learning that they had an API that could be used. to do the lookups, and that signing up for such access had no verification processes.
Dell API abused to steal 49 million customer records in data breach is the article.
Have I Been pwned does not list this yet in their recent breaches.
Exposed or not doesn’t have this either in the current set. Searching Del turns up other results.
It’ll be a matter of time before both put this up, but I am not sure about this seeoing that this could be partly from a 2016 incident where scam calls were made.
OI guess we’ll see what both sites do with this.
And you can see why they have that reputation of not being that good for users.
I have used a couple but who knows.
