TSMC Responds to Employee Data Leak Incident, Provides Necessary Assistance

TSMC has confirmed that some data of current and former employees was disclosed without authorization, with a data volume of 6.9GB involving approximately 46,000 records. Hackers are selling this data on underground forums for 3 bitcoins, and if no one purchases it, they will make it public within a week. TSMC stated that this data is related to the system services of a certain cloud service provider, but there is currently no evidence to suggest that its own data systems have been breached. TSMC emphasized that the leaked data is unrelated to the company's production and customer information, has notified the affected individuals, and provided necessary assistance. They are also cooperating with the relevant cloud service provider, investigative authorities, and third-party cybersecurity organizations to clarify the cause of the incident and take necessary measures as soon as possible.
