Dell has confirmed that criminals broke into its IT environment and stole some of its data but told The Register that it's 'primarily synthetic (fake) data.' The compromised data, according to WorldLeaks' post, includes 416,103 files. The data stolen is primarily synthetic, publicly available or Dell systems/test data. This follows a more serious breach last year, during which a digital thief claimed to have stolen and put up for sale a database containing 49 million Dell customer records.
