Dell allowed someone to steal almost $3000 from my account .How does Dell let this happen and does anybody care?

I found out, purely by accident, last week that my DFS account had been hacked and someone had ordered  something from Microsoft for almost $3000. I discovered this theft! Dell did not! I have been told by phone that the purchase was reported to the three credit bureaus ( my credit score has since dropped 11 points) and that nothing can be done to correct the problem with the credit bureaus for up to 60 days. I was given a case number last week and when I checked online today, Tuesday, the case number seems to be non-existent. A second phone call to the Fraud Phone Number revealed that there will be no information regarding my case until an investigator has been assigned, sometime in the the next 30-45 days. In the meantime, this almost $3000 order is being shipped to someone who just stole $3000. and nothing is being done about it. (I understand that I will not be held responsible for paying this charge, but right now someone has just walked off with a $3000. door prize. )  How did the hacker get my password? It is a password that I ONLY use for this DFS account. No other accounts from other entities have been broached in any way  Why and how, only Dell?

I'm sorry to hear that you are running into issues with your DFS account. The Dell Data Security forum is intended for the Dell Data Protection/ Dell Encryption software. 

I am happy to take a look to determine the status of the issue. Could you private message me the order number or service request (ticket number) from the incident? 

Thank you,

-Brian
