Valve is notifying European Steam hardware customers that their personal information may have been compromised following a late July cyberattack on the shipping partner CEVA Logistics.

Key Points

  • Compromised data includes customer names, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical shipping addresses.
  • Valve confirmed that Steam account credentials and payment information remain secure and were not accessed.
  • The breach potentially affects European customers who purchased Steam hardware within 90 days of the incident.
