A Data Breach At Shipping Giant Ceva Logistics Is Rippling Across Banks, Retailers, Steam Gamers, and Beyond

An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: Ceva Logistics, one of the world's largest shipping and logistics giants, has been hacked. Several companies that rely on Ceva for shipping their products to their customers say that their personal information was also stolen in the breach. The cyberattack on Ceva is affecting at least eight warehouses across Europe used for shipping goods across the continent, the company told TechCrunch. Industry news site FreightWaves reports that the hack began on July 29 and is causing shipping delays for many of the goods in affected warehouses.

Ceva is a France-headquartered shipping and logistics giant that companies around the world rely on to deliver their goods from their assembly lines to customer homes. The company, which brought in $18.3 billion in revenue in 2025, has over a thousand warehouses across the world. [...] The hack at Ceva also resulted in a data breach, affecting a large amount of personal information belonging to retail customers that Ceva relies on for delivering goods to people's home addresses. Several companies reported that hackers took their customers' names, home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses used to place their orders from Ceva's systems.

Dutch online retail giant Bol said on its website that hackers gained access to systems of its warehousing partner, Ceva, and warned that their customers' data may have been taken. Bol also said that it expects delays and some customer orders to be canceled as a result of the incident. De Bijenkorf, another Dutch luxury retailer, similarly confirmed order delays following the theft of its customers' data, per local media. Football club Ajax, banking giant ING, and eyeglass maker Ace & Tate also reported that customers' shipping information was affected. Video game giant Valve told customers that it learned on August 7 that data was taken from Ceva's systems, and alerted customers who recently bought its Steam hardware that they had personal information taken in the incident. Valve said in its note to customers, posted to Reddit, that Ceva stores their shipping and delivery information for 90 days following their order. So far, Ceva says the agency has received data breach reports from 10 organizations in relation to the incident.

Valve Slowly Expands SteamOS Support On Non-Valve Hardware

Valve is continuing to broaden SteamOS support beyond its own hardware, with the latest beta adding "initial gamepad support" for a few recent gaming handhelds and improving compatibility for a few others. Ars Technica reports: Those newly supported handhelds include MSI's Claw 8 EX AI+, the extremely expensive, extremely powerful handheld built around Intel's Arc G3 processor that launched this summer. While SteamOS has long included beta support for "other AMD powered handhelds," Valve has only recently been working on offering compatibility with Intel-based handhelds like the MSI Claw line. This weekend's update suggests the company hasn't abandoned those efforts and that Intel chips aren't being left out of the SteamOS conversation.

SteamOS 3.8.25 also newly supports the controllers built into Ayaneo's Android-focused Pocket S2 and the more recently released Windows-based Konkr Fit. Valve also says the new OS offers "improved support" for older MSI Claw devices and the OneXPlayer line of portable gaming PCs. This weekend's update follows June's SteamOS 3.8 update, which stressed "improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms." That update specifically called out improved controller support on handhelds from the likes of GPD Win, Anbernic, and OrangePi, as well as improvements for various Lenovo Legion Go, MSI Claw, and OneXPlayer devices. The report notes that the new SteamOS update also updates the Linux driver powering the new Steam Controller, "allowing it to work with 'native controller applications' even when Steam is not running."

First Rival Android App Store Arrives In the US Play Store

Aptoide has become the first third-party Android app store available directly through Google Play in the U.S. "The change is a direct result of Google's litigation with Epic, which saw a judge rule in 2024 that the Play Store would have to open up to third-party stores," notes The Verge. The change makes rival storefronts far easier to discover and install, potentially opening the door for Epic, Amazon, Samsung, Microsoft and others to distribute their own app stores through Google's store. From the report: Third-party app stores have always been available on Android, which is a more open platform than iOS in that respect. However, until now they've only been available if pre-installed on a device -- as with the Amazon Appstore on Fire tablets or Samsung's Galaxy Store -- or installed via sideloading. Listing rival storefronts within the Play Store makes them much easier for users to find and access.
[...]

Aptoide itself is relatively little known, but it's likely to be the first of many alternative app stores. It's presumably only a matter of time before the Epic Store makes its own appearance, and the likes of Amazon, Samsung, and other phone manufacturers may also want to put their stores in front of potential customers.

I opened my Flickr app on Android and noticed that auto-upload had stopped. When going to the settings I noticed I was unable to re-enable auto uploader. I reported a problem, got an answer within the hour, provided some more information and five minutes later the latest update was pulled. I was told to remove the app and yes re-installing the app gave me the previous version. And i was able to back up my photos again. I'd say, that was fast.

Anyone out there using flickr with auto-uploader enabled, check your settings, it might have stopped anywhere in july.

Dodental aardbevingen Venezuela nu boven de 6300

CARACAS (ANP/AFP) - De aardbevingen die Venezuela eind juni hebben getroffen, hebben 6301 doden geëist. Dat maakte parlementsvoorzitter Jorge Rodríguez bekend. Er wordt in het puin nog steeds naar lichamen gezocht.

Het vorige dodental stond op 6125. Er zijn volgens de autoriteiten nog zo'n 1400 vermisten.

Meer dan 12.000 woningen zijn onbewoonbaar verklaard. Talloze families zijn in noodopvang ondergebracht of verblijven bij familieleden.

Buurland Colombia werd maandag door een aardbeving met een kracht van 7.4 getroffen. Het aantal bevestigde doden ligt op 111, maar ook in dit land vrezen de autoriteiten dat het verder oploopt. Het is de zwaarste aardbeving in Colombia deze eeuw.

De Europese Unie is bereid Colombia meer hulp te bieden bij de reddingswerkzaamheden na de zware aardbeving, aldus commissievoorzitter Ursula von der Leyen op X. De Europese satellietdienst Copernicus wordt al ingezet om te helpen, zo schreef ze. Voor Venezuela heeft de EU 25 miljoen euro beschikbaar gesteld, onder meer voor medische hulpmiddelen en reddingsteams.


Schilder wint goud, maar denkt dat ze nog steeds de slechtste is

BIRMINGHAM (ANP) - Jessica Schilder beheerst momenteel het kogelstoten. Ze is wereldkampioene, stootte als eerste atlete in veertien jaar over de 21 meter en kroonde zich in Birmingham voor de derde keer op rij tot Europees kampioene, maar zelf denkt ze dat ze nog steeds de slechtste is. "Ik kan daar niets aan doen, het hoort een beetje bij mijn voorbereiding. Ik maak mezelf klein om mezelf te beschermen tegen de druk", vertelde ze na afloop van de finale, waarin ze verreweg de beste was.

Al haar geldige stoten waren goed voor goud en in haar zesde en laatste poging stootte ze er nog 20,73 meter uit, haar derde afstand ooit. "Ik moet dat idee dat ik de slechtste ben maar niet loslaten, want het heeft me al veel medailles gebracht. Het stuwt me naar een hoger plan."

Schilder kwam met nog een opvallende bekentenis. "Ik denk dat dit de eerste wedstrijd was waarbij ik zelfvertrouwen voelde. Het ging naar wens en daar ben ik blij mee. Het was de makkelijkste van mijn drie titels."


Demonstrerende boeren rijden over snelweg in Friesland

SEXBIERUM (ANP) - Boeren hebben maandagavond in Friesland met trekkers over de snelweg gereden. Dat gebeurde na afloop van een protestactie in Sexbierum.

Een ANP-fotograaf zag dat groepjes boeren over de A31 reden. De politie was daarbij aanwezig.

De boeren waren daarvoor bijeengekomen op een weiland langs diezelfde snelweg. Meer dan honderd trekkers hadden zich daar verzameld om te demonstreren tegen de stikstofplannen van het kabinet. Een deel van de boeren had de Nederlandse vlag omgekeerd aan het voertuig hangen.

In Overijssel waren maandagavond ook boerenprotesten, waaronder in Ommen, Dalfsen en Hardenberg.

“Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer’s disease.” The key difference: “the constant work of locating yourself in space, tracking a destination and updating a mental map as conditions change.”
