Recently, a hacker going by the nickname '1011' made a post on a dark - web forum. In this post, the hacker claimed to have successfully breached the system of ASML, the Dutch lithography machine behemoth, and stolen 154 databases that held a vast quantity of sensitive information. On January 7th (local time), ASML officially shot down this rumor. The company stated that after conducting a comprehensive investigation, it found the allegations to be entirely baseless, and no ASML data was discovered in the files that were mentioned. Moreover, an analysis by a third - party security team reached the conclusion that the data released by the hackers was utterly worthless and had actually leaked from servers that had no connection to ASML.
