oh wow glad I got unlucky with the random sort (haven't received the invitation to purchase yet)

Wow so brave

Should have thrown a "fuck spez" in there to drive home what a badass you are

CEVA serves a lot of companies, so it isn't just Steam, it's a lot of them. I've gotten 2 mails like this related to CEVA recently.

You are in a Steam Community.

Yeah that guy sucks

Just checked my mail and got it too. Man this sucks. I'm a bit careful already and Valve is one of the trusted companies. But what can we and Valve do, if the company who needs these data to ship gets hacked. They have my full name and address and email...

I think he is a nice guy. Just gets a bad rep.

Can you imagine a company like CEVA making millions upon millions of dollars year over year and not spending any of that for security?

Nowadays every company is a tech company. But not every company knows that.

What can man do against such recklessness?

I thought this was a Wendy's.

Who says they don't spend any of that for security? Security is not reached by just throwing with money. We don't know the details how this happened. So I would be careful with premature conclusions like that.

Ok, "spending a fraction of it on piss poor security."

Fuck lemmy.world in general?

Fuck Wendy

Fuck Community

Steam should sue them for damaging their reputation with customers.

Only shit that works with greedy co.panies is hitting them in The wallet

His intimate life is not my concern

When you lay off all of your security staff and replace them with AI. God, the AI craze is going to cause so much damage before corporations realize that it is not as “absolutely perfect” like its sellers hype it to be.

Edit: to clerify, I wasn’t talking about valve. I was talking about the company they use for shipping.

Sir, this is a Wendy 's.

You still don't know how much they spend and how the attack was done. Often security isn't even a matter of money, but knowledge and trust of your own teammates. Maybe you are right after all, but my point is, we don't know YET.

Learn from it.

There are also attacks like an employee attacking his/her own company (pump.fun), or simply corruption..

No this is Patrick

Damn, don't cut yourself with that edge

I dunno man, I think he's earned it

Wendy's what??

I thought for a second, "Glad I don't live in Europe." Then remembered I live in the US.

🤣... 💀

Nothing. It’s just a game of chance at this stage given how many intermediaries are necessary between where you order something and who needs to know where to deliver it. Each step in that long ass process can eventually fail. It takes one to get your information out - and in this case it’s not like you can move or change your name as a measure compared to when some online only service fails you.

Did I miss a news article somewhere of valve doing this?

Exactly. It only takes one printed picking list not shredded correctly and some asshole dumpster diving and there it goes.
Or a wrongly formatted mail recipient… so many ways for humans to fail it’s funny to always see security reduced to technical measures.

Yes.

I never said valve. I was talking about the the company they use for shipping

Good thing you have any indication or evidence that it happened at the logistics company then

At this point who doesn't have all my details? I was just talking about this recently.

I am not sure it's even worth caring about anymore because everything is out there already. And I mean everything.

Now we are defending the company that leaked people’s data? What else could be the cause in this day and age? They’re a slop who didn’t give a single shit about their security.

Can we setup a pinned post or something to report any sus emails anyone gets they think is related to this?

Without truth, you're the slop

Anyone got a link to the actual news, posted by Valve? I don't feel like sharing an unverified skyscraper-height screenshot with my friends.

anyone else old enough to remember when the great promise of the internet was disintermediation?

good times

Sure do :(
Even professionally I remember times where accountability meant something and it was not diluted across 20 parties.
Fucking shame.

It's an email.

I received it, can confirm it's real

Now its our secret. <3

There are quite few things you can do, depending on where you live:

• Do not put your real name or address into the forms if possible.
• Use temporary phone number.
• Use alias email address and change it if it gets leaked.
