A security research firm recently discovered a security issue that could give hackers access to your Dell laptops. The problem, the security vulnerability, lies in the driver that Dell laptops use to handle firmware updates. Then you need to update the laptop’s firmware, the Dell Command Update, Dell Update, or Alienware Update. Now, if you have never updated your Dell laptop through the Dell Command Update, Dell Update, Alienware Update, Dell System Inventory Agent, or Dell Platform Tags, it is possible that you have not been impacted by this issue at all. Dell has also said that they have fixed this for all the new PCs they are shipping right now except for those that ship with Dell Command Update, Dell Update, or Alienware Update which might be automatically updated when you first run it.
