What happened
TSMC confirmed that employee information appeared on external websites, but said its own systems were not breached and customer and production data were not affected. Sellers on DarkForums and BreachForums reportedly offered around 46,000 records for 3 Bitcoin, with samples showing names, national ID numbers and bank details. TSMC says it is working with a cloud service provider, cybersecurity firms and law enforcement, and the same wave of incidents has hit other Asian firms and Coinbase's analytics vendor Amplitude.
