☆ TSMC confirms supplier data breach following ransom demand by Russian-speaking cybercriminal group
  + stars: | 2023-06-30 | by ( Sean Lyngaas | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
Confirmation of the breach came after Russian-speaking cybercriminals claimed TSMC as a victim on Thursday and demanded an extraordinary $70 million ransom from the semiconductor firm. There were no signs that TSMC or the hardware supplier, Taiwanese firm Kinmax, had any plans to pay the hackers (representatives from both companies didn’t respond to CNN’s questions about any ransom). “After the incident, TSMC has immediately terminated its data exchange with this concerned supplier in accordance with the Company’s security protocols and standard operating procedures,” TSMC said in a statement to CNN. The hackers accessed Kinmax’s internal “testing environment” for the technology it prepares to deliver to customers, Kinmax said in a statement distributed by TSMC. LockBit is the name of the group claiming responsibility for the hack of the TSMC supplier and the type of ransomware they use.
