Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 28, 2018, Dell Inc. (“Dell”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies Inc., issued a press release announcing a cybersecurity incident. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this current report and incorporated in this Item 7.01 by reference.
In accordance with General Instruction B.2 to Form 8-K, the information contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 to this current report, is being “furnished” with the Securities and Exchange Commission and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under such section. Further, such information shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, unless specifically identified as being incorporated therein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On November 9, 2018, Dell detected and disrupted unauthorized activity on its network attempting to extract Dell.com customer information, which was limited to names, email addresses and hashed passwords. Though it is possible some of this information was removed from Dell’s network, Dell’s investigations found no conclusive evidence that any was extracted. Additionally, Dell cybersecurity measures are in place to limit the impact of any potential exposure. These include the hashing of Dell’s customers’ passwords and a mandatory Dell.com password reset. Credit card and other sensitive customer information was not targeted. The incident did not impact any Dell products or services.
Upon detection of the attempted extraction, Dell immediately implemented countermeasures and initiated an investigation. Dell also retained a digital forensics firm to conduct an independent investigation and has engaged law enforcement.
