Another day, another cyberattack that resulted in users’ sensitive data being stolen by malicious actors. This morning, Valve issued a warning to Steam Machine and Steam Controller customers that their personal data may have been stolen following a cyberattack on a shipping partner, CEVA Logistics. The partner handles Steam hardware shipping in Europe and informed Valve on Aug. 7 that it had been hit with an attack.
Thankfully, it seems that payment information and passwords weren’t leaked as part of the breach. However, the hackers did make off with customer names, addresses, countries, phone numbers, Steam email addresses, and Steam hardware purchase details.
As for what to look out for, the Valve email said: “Expect fake messages – email, SMS or phone – that mention your hardware order and appear to come from Steam, Valve or a delivery company. They may quote your address back to you to prove they’re genuine. They may ask you to confirm a delivery, pay a small customs or redelivery fee, or sign in somewhere to ‘verify’ your order. Treat all of them as fake.”
