    Has Dell been breached and its databases containing customer's personal, computer and tech support data been pilfered?

    Dell still won't say yes or no, but many online postings by users on the Dell support forum seem to point towards the postive answer, as they have experienced scammy tech support calls in which the scammers used correct information about their computers and about previous support requests they contacted Dell with.

    Among these users is the author of the 10 Zen Monkeys blog, who recently wrote about having experienced a fake tech support call a few months ago.
