TSMC confirmed that a hacker published unauthorized personal information about current and former employees that matched data held by a cloud provider. The hacker demanded 3 BTC, worth about $220,000, for a database claimed to contain 46,000 records, a figure TSMC has not verified. The exposed data included names, national identification numbers and banking details, but the company found no evidence of a breach of its own systems. TSMC shares opened 4.53% lower before narrowing their daily loss to 1.90% amid volatility across the semiconductor industry. The incident also raises questions about oversight of cloud providers and contractual liability for protecting employee data.
