The Pokémon Center, an official merchandise and collectibles store for Pokemon, has fallen victim to the same data breach as Valve's Steam hardware customers. The shipping company involved in this incident is CEVA Logistics. In the US, affected customers were notified about the breach, but now Pokémon Center has found that some of its customers in the UK and Germany may have been impacted.
This company shared pertinent information with Pokémon Center to ensure delivery of goods. Consequently, some customers have had their orders cancelled, while others face delays in shipping. The breached information is said to include personal data such as full names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and order details.
However, Pokémon Center assures customers that payment and card details remain secure. Pokémon Center is monitoring its systems and in conversation with CEVA to address the issue. The company has also provided a 20 percent off coupon for one order, valid until November 30th.
