The dataset has sensitive information belonging to these employees, including Employee ID, Employee full name, Employee status, and Employee internal ID, Grep added in the post.

Two attacks within a week

Days after, Grep posted about a second “significant” breach concerning 3.5 GB stolen data from Dell, this time claiming the breach in collaboration with a fellow hacker “Chucky”. Grep had called the previous attack “minor”.

“With over 10,000 employee records reportedly exposed, including names, employee IDs, and internal identifiers, this incident highlights the potential vulnerabilities in even well-established tech companies,” said Stephen Kowski, field chief technology officer at Pleasanton. “While Dell has not yet confirmed the breach, the leaked information could be leveraged by threat actors for targeted phishing attempts or social engineering attacks, particularly given recent trends in cybercriminal tactics.”
