TSMC was hacked through an outside cloud provider that stored records on its current and former employees.

The company confirmed the leak after DarkForums and BreachForums listings offered 6.9GB the seller says holds 46K employee records.

The price is 3 Bitcoin, about $220K, with a threat to dump everything free after a week unsold.

A 499-row sample, tsmc.txt, lists 19 fields per person, including national ID numbers, addresses, bank details and emergency contacts.

TSMC’s SEC filing says it found no evidence its own systems were breached, and the data is unrelated to production or customers.
