Pokémon Center has suffered a data breach after hackers stole customer personal and order information from third-party logistics provider CEVA Logistics. The exposed records belonged to Pokémon Center customers who submitted orders on the site. The company has canceled some orders and is warning customers of potential delays.

Why it matters

This data breach affects customers in the United Kingdom and Germany, and it highlights the importance of protecting customer data. It also shows how a third-party logistics provider can be vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Imagine you ordered a Pokémon toy online, but the company that shipped it got hacked. Now, the hackers might have your name, address, and order details. The company is canceling some orders and warning customers of potential delays.

CEVA Logistics Cyberattack Data Breach Impacts Pokémon Center Customers

Pokémon Center has suffered a data breach after hackers stole customer personal and order information from third-party logistics provider CEVA Logistics. The exposed records belonged to Pokémon Center customers who submitted orders on the site. The company has canceled some orders and is warning customers of potential delays.

CEVA Logistics is a subsidiary of the CMA CGM Group, the world's third-largest shipping company. The logistics provider operates 1,000 warehouses, handled 15 million shipments last year, and reported $18.3 billion in revenue in 2025. The company recently suffered a cyberattack in which attackers breached its servers between July 29 and August 1, affecting multiple retailers in Europe.

The CEVA breach also affected Valve, which notified Steam hardware customers in Europe that their names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and information about ordered products were stolen during the cyberattack. The Valve breach notification said CEVA said it retains delivery-related information for up to 90 days after an order. However, it is unclear whether the same retention period applies to Pokémon Center customer data.

Pokémon Center orders canceled after breach

In data breach notification emails seen by BleepingComputer, Pokémon Center says CEVA is the vendor it uses to ship PokémonCenter.com products to customers in the United Kingdom and Germany. "We're sorry to inform you that we have had to cancel your recent order [order number] due to an unforeseen fulfilment issue," reads the Pokémon Center data breach notification.

"We are writing to let you know about a cyber incident affecting a Pokémon Center logistics provider that may affect some of your information. CEVA Logistics ("CEVA"), the vendor Pokémon Center utilizes to ship product from PokémonCenter.com for customers in the United Kingdom and Germany, has informed us that unfortunately they were a victim of a cyber attack commencing on 30 July, 2026."

Pokémon Center says unauthorized parties may have obtained customers' full names, mailing addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and details about the contents of their PokémonCenter.com orders. The company says other information related to customers and their orders was not impacted and that CEVA does not have access to customers' payment card details.

However, customers are also reporting that the breach caused their orders to be canceled, although it is unclear why the cyberattack would require cancellations rather than simply delays. While initial reports warned of cancellations for the highly anticipated 30th anniversary collection products, a Reddit post shows that other merchandise, such as the Ghost Chateau Cyndaquil keyring, was affected. Another customer replied that they had also received the same cancellation email.

BleepingComputer contacted Pokémon Center and Pokémon media contacts to learn more about the breach and why the incident caused customer orders to be canceled, but has not received a reply.
