Cyberattack on logistics giant CEVA delivers customer data into the wrong hands

Valve, Bol, ING, Ajax, and others affected as pwnage disrupts eight European warehouses

A cyberattack on logistics giant CEVA disrupted warehouses across Europe and exposed customer data for big-name clients such as Valve and Ajax. CEVA, a France-based shipping company with over 1,000 warehouses globally and $18.3 billion in revenue last year, was attacked between July 29 and August 1. Eight European warehouses were affected, according to FreightWaves.

The attack hit parts of CEVA's contract logistics business, while transportation operations continued as normal. Valve, which uses CEVA for shipping Steam hardware in Europe, confirmed that attackers likely stole customer information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. Valve warned customers to watch for phishing attempts using fake messages that reference their hardware orders.

Bol, a Dutch e-commerce giant, also experienced the fallout, with customer information potentially viewed or copied. De Bijenkorf, a Dutch department store, warned customers about compromised data and disrupted orders. Ajax, ING, and Ace & Tate are among other companies affected. CEVA has not disclosed how the attackers gained access, how much data was stolen, or the number of affected entities.
