Valve’s European shipping partner has suffered a data breach, raising the risk that customers who ordered a Steam Machine or Steam Controller could receive convincing phishing messages. The incident matters because compromised delivery information may help scammers impersonate Valve or couriers and request payments, links or personal details.

Affected buyers are being urged to treat unexpected messages about deliveries with caution and to verify communications through official Valve or courier channels. The article does not indicate that Valve itself was breached, but warns that order-related customer data held by its EU logistics partner may have been exposed.
