Valve notifies Steam hardware purchasers in Europe about a data breach, informing customers after its shipping partner, CEVA Logistics, reports it has been targeted by hackers. According to the reports, Valve begins contacting affected customers via email, following notice from CEVA.
The sources describe the incident as a compromise of customer data related to Steam hardware shipments or purchasers’ information held through the logistics process. While both outlets agree on the key sequence—hacking of CEVA, notification by CEVA to Valve, and subsequent emails from Valve—the articles do not detail the specific data types taken, the scale of affected customers, or the broader impact on Steam services. The reports focus on the customer notification aspect rather than attributing responsibility or outlining investigative findings.
Both accounts present the breach as a supply-chain-related event tied to Valve’s European fulfillment operations, rather than a direct attack on Valve’s core Steam systems.
