PSA: Steam users have been hit by a cyber attack, ‘expect fake messages’

Valve is currently warning Steam Machine and Steam Controller Users in Europe that they have been hit by a cyber attack that leaked their personal information. CEVA Logistics, Valve’s logistics partner in Europe responsible for handling Steam’s hardware fulfilment, warned Valve on August 7.

As spotted by DigitalFoundry, Valve is now warning that the breach didn’t compromise payment or password data, but it might include all sorts of personal information, such as IDs, addresses, country of residence, phone numbers, email accounts associated with Steam, and Steam hardware purchase information.

Though this isn’t a worst-case scenario because the hackers cannot directly use this information to attack users, they can use it in other ways.
