Valve warns of possible data breach affecting European customers

Valve, the owner of the gaming platform Steam, has warned its European customers that their personal information may have been compromised. This warning was sent in an email to users, in which the company stated that a data breach occurred at CEVA Logistics, the logistics provider responsible for shipping Steam hardware in Europe.

According to reports relayed to various news sources, the data breach involves the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of customers who ordered Steam hardware. The details of the hack have not yet been fully disclosed, but Valve has confirmed that the breaches are related to a hacking attempt on CEVA Logistics.

Earlier, it was reported that other companies, such as Ajax, the eyewear store Ace & Tate, ING, bol.com, and De Bijenkorf, have also been affected by the same data breach. These companies have also informed their customers about potential implications of the situation.

According to Valve's statement, however, no payment information or passwords have been leaked. This offers some reassurance to customers who are concerned about their financial information and account security.

CEVA Logistics has not yet provided a full explanation of the hack, and it remains unclear to what extent other customers of the company have also been affected. The situation surrounding the hack and the potential damage to the involved companies continues to evolve.

Valve advises customers to be cautious with their personal information and to report any suspicious activities. The notification of the data breach comes at a time when awareness of data security and privacy is becoming increasingly important.
