Valve notifies Steam hardware customers of a data breach
Hackers stole names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses from Ceva systems, and the breach disrupted shipping at eight European warehouses, the company said.
- Video game giant Valve notified Steam hardware customers on August 7 that their personal information was compromised following a cyberattack on France-headquartered logistics firm CEVA Logistics.
- The breach began on July 29, impacting eight European warehouses used by CEVA, a global shipping giant with $18.3 billion in revenue that has become a growing target for cybercriminals.
- Because CEVA stores shipping information for 90 days following orders, hackers accessed customer records including "names, home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses," per company statements.
- Multiple companies—Dutch giant Bol, luxury retailer Bijenkorf, football club Ajax, bank ING, and eyeglass maker Ace and Tate—reported order delays or cancellations due to warehouse disruptions.
- Authorities in the Netherlands are investigating the incident while CEVA's cybersecurity teams activated security protocols; no other global systems were affected, the company said.
