CEVA Breach Exposes 4 Types of Steam Customer Data in Europe

Summary
Valve told European Steam hardware buyers that CEVA Logistics suffered a breach that likely compromised names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses tied to deliveries.
July 29 to Aug. 1 is the window Valve gave for the incident, which came weeks after it opened reservations for the new Steam Machine and Steam Controller.
Valve warned affected customers to expect phishing by email, text or phone, including messages that cite their address and ask for delivery confirmation, small fees or sign-ins.
CEVA stores delivery-related information for up to 90 days, but Valve said the shipper does not have access to payment details, passwords, Steam Guard codes or other Steam account data.
