Ceva Logistics, a prominent global shipping and logistics company, has fallen victim to a significant cyberattack, with consequences reverberating across multiple sectors. The breach, which began on July 29, has impacted at least eight warehouses used by the company for shipping goods across Europe. According to industry news outlet FreightWaves, the hacking incident is causing shipping delays for numerous products in the affected warehouses.
Ceva, headquartered in France and boasting a revenue of $18.3 billion in 2025, manages over a thousand warehouses worldwide. The company provides crucial shipping services to numerous businesses relying on its infrastructure to deliver goods from manufacturers to consumer homes. As a result of the breach, personal information, including names, home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses, belonging to retail customers has been stolen.
The ramifications of the cyberattack have been felt by various entities. Dutch online retailer Bol revealed that hackers had accessed systems of its warehousing partner, Ceva, and warned customers that their data might have been compromised. Additionally, Dutch luxury retailer De Bijenkorf announced order delays due to the theft of customer data. Football club Ajax, banking giant ING, and eyeglass manufacturer Ace & Tate also disclosed that their customers' shipping information had been affected.
Video game giant Valve acknowledged learning on August 7 that data from Ceva's systems had been compromised, informing customers who recently purchased Steam hardware of the breach. Valve explained that Ceva retains shipping and delivery information for 90 days post-order, and customers were alerted accordingly.
Ceva currently reports that it has received data breach notifications from ten organizations connected to the incident. The full extent of the fallout from this cyberattack remains to be seen, with the potential for ongoing disruptions to supply chains and customer trust across multiple industries.
