TSMC Says Some Employee Data Leaked, No Sign of System Breach

The key detail is the cloud link: a vendor-side exposure, not a breach of TSMC's own perimeter, which keeps production and customer data out of scope. For a chipmaker whose operational continuity carries outsized weight in the AI supply chain, that distinction matters more than the leak itself. The open question is whether the cloud provider is identified and whether similar exposures surface elsewhere in the vendor chain.
