Valve began alerting some Steam users that their information, including name, phone number, and home and email addresses, might have been exposed in a cyber attack that took place in early August.
Valve clarified that the attack was not against the company itself, but against a logistics firm CEVA Logistics, which operates in Europe and delivers the company’s devices, including Steam Deck, Steam Machine and Steam Controller.

According to Valve, users from Europe who ordered any devices in the last three months were affected. However, any data such as payment cards or passwords from Steam were not affected, as CEVA Logistics does not have this information, so no password changes are required.
The company advised to be prepared for fake calls or emails with phishing links to the Steam site or requests for additional customs fees.
