TSMC, the juggernaut that produces roughly 90% of the world's most advanced chips, has discovered a data leak said to contain over 46,000 employee records, according to Seeking Alpha.
The company made a Form 6-K filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, stating: "TSMC has found that some of our current and former employee data was made available on an external website without authorization. Currently, we have found no evidence that TSMC’s systems have been compromised."
The company says the info has been verified to match data "stored in the system services of a cloud service provider," although said provider is not named. TSMC says it has informed those impacted by the breach and is providing support, and has also engaged with the cloud service vendor, investigating authorities, and a third-party cybersecurity agency to "ascertain the facts and take necessary actions."
