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 targeted CEVA, a logistics giant with 1,000+ warehouses worldwide, disrupting warehouses across Europe and leaking customer data of big-name clients such as Valve and Ajax. The attack, which took place between July 29 and August 1, affected eight CEVA warehouses in Europe, according to FreightWaves. Valve, which uses CEVA for shipping Steam hardware in Europe, reported that attackers likely stole customer information including names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.
CEVA retains this data for up to 90 days post-order, raising concerns for potential phishing attempts. Valve warned customers against responding to any suspicious communications claiming to be from Steam, CEVA, or delivery companies. Dutch e-commerce giant Bol and Dutch department store De Bijenkorf also experienced disruptions, with Bol halting data exchanges with CEVA and De Bijenkorf warning customers about compromised data and delayed orders.
Ajax, ING, and Ace & Tate are among other companies affected. CEVA has not disclosed the method of the breach, the extent of data stolen, or the number of impacted entities.
