TSMC

The largest contract chip manufacturer in the world, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), has acknowledged that a data breach occurred after being identified as a victim by the LockBit ransomware group.

If the business does not comply with the gang's $70 million ransom demand, the corporation risks having data seized from it published. This company controls 60% of the global foundry market.

In accordance with the Company's security rules and SOPs, TSMC promptly stopped exchanging data with the relevant supplier.
