omg, you guys, there's some pretty sketchy stuff going on with valve's european hardware partners. apparently, ceva logistics, the company that helps valve ship out steam machines and controllers, got hacked on august 7th. valve's servers are totally safe, but ceva's breach is still a major issue for customers.



so, what does this mean for us? well, the hackers might have gotten their hands on some of our personal info, like names, addresses, phone numbers, and even our steam account email addresses. they could also know what steam hardware we've bought in the past. it's not the end of the world, since they didn't get passwords or payment details, but it's still super annoying.



valve's warning us to be on the lookout for fake messages - whether it's an email, sms, or even a phone call - that seem to be from steam or a delivery company. these messages might mention our hardware order and try to trick us into paying a "small customs or redelivery fee" or signing in somewhere to "verify" our order. valve's being super clear: if you get a message like this, just treat it as fake and don't engage with it.

i'm a bit concerned, to be honest, since i've ordered steam hardware in the past. but it's good to know that valve's taking steps to investigate and is working with ceva to figure out what happened. they're also contacting data protection authorities in the affected countries, which is a big plus. preorders are available at major retailers, but if you're thinking of ordering a steam machine or controller, just be aware that you might not get it until 2027.



anyway, just a heads up to all my fellow steam users outRead more: Full article on www.eurogamer.net
