Has anyone else received an email from Dell about a data breach? I’ve gotten three messages just today. What’s going on?

We are currently investigating an incident involving a Dell portal, which contains a database with limited types of customer information related to purchases from Dell. We believe there is not a significant risk to our customers given the type of information involved.
