Chip giant TSMC, hot target for identity theft, confirms data breach

TSMC has confirmed that data on current and former employees appeared online after a leak at a third-party cloud service provider. A hacker claims to hold 6.9GB of files covering roughly 46,000 employee records and posted a sample of 499 records including addresses, bank account numbers and emergency contacts. TSMC says it has found no evidence that its own systems or customer data were compromised.
