Dell has released warnings this week about a critical flaw in a chip that is heavily used across their Precision, Latitude, and Pro laptops. This flaw is in a function used for passwords and biometric data. This opens many millions of users of Dell laptops to hacks involving data theft or even malicious code like ransomware. The simple answer is to go to Dell, check for, and install all updates. If you have the Dell Command Center, the updates should be there. This should be a part of your regular routines, and far more often than you might expect… monthly.
Owners of affected Dell laptop models should update firmware now to address several flaws that leave devices exposed to cyber attacks.
