During routine monitoring, TSMC detected unauthorized activities, raising suspicions that their cutting-edge 2nm chip technology had been compromised. Following an exhaustive internal investigation, the company took decisive action, dismissing several employees and initiating legal proceedings. The breach involved a total of nine individuals, three of whom were summarily dismissed for allegedly using their mobile phones to transfer a substantial amount of sensitive data, which is now suspected to have found its way into the hands of Tokyo Electron employees.
