🚨 TSMC has landed in hot water: employee data has ended up in the public domain.
The seller claims to have around 46,000 records and is asking 3 BTC for them. The company has confirmed a data leak affecting current and former employees.
But there’s an important caveat: TSMC has found no signs that its own systems were hacked. According to preliminary information, the data is linked to an external cloud provider. The company says information about chip production and customers was not affected.
That’s cybersecurity for you: the main computer is locked up seven times over, but it looks like the keys were left with a contractor. 🤦
