Ireland privacy watchdog confirms Dell data breach investigation
Reading Time: < 1 minutesLast week, Dell alerted customers via email that it had experienced a data breach. The theft, the company wrote, included customer names, physical addresses and Dell order information. Some of the stolen data included personal information of Dell customers in the European Union. Despite the theft of customers’ physical addresses, Dell told customers that it believed ‘there is not a significant risk to our customers given the type of information involved.’
In both cases, the threat actor — who goes by Menelik — said he was able to find flaws in two different Dell portals and scrape customer data.
In the last few years, Ireland’s data protection watchdog has been the most active privacy regulator in Europe, given that many big tech companies have their European headquarters in Ireland, including Dell. The DPC has enforced the pan-EU data protection and privacy regulation, known as GDPR, against several companies, including TikTok, which was fined $379 million for mishandling children’s data, and Meta, which was fined $1.3 billion for breaching regulations on transferring users’ personal data to the United States.
Companies can be fined up to 4% of their annual global turnover for violations of GDPR.
