Love to play computer games On August 6, it was reported by Taiwan media that TSMC's 12 inch wafer factory and operation headquarters were attacked by computer viruses last Friday. Affected by the virus attack, all production lines of the factory were stopped. At the same time, the fabs in Tainan Fab 14 and Taichung Fab 15 also stopped production due to virus attacks.

TSMC recently issued a statement saying that 80% of the tools affected by the virus last Friday have been recovered. As for the cause of virus intrusion, TSMC said that it was the improper operation of employees when installing software for new tools, and the virus spread widely after the tools were connected to TSMC's internal network. The company has taken measures to solve security problems and further strengthen security measures.

Previously, it was reported that products with 7nm, 16nm and 28nm processes were affected by the virus. TSMC also said that it might delay the delivery of products, but did not specify which customers were affected. It should be noted that Apple's latest A12 processor is manufactured by TSMC. This chip will be installed on three new iPhones released in September, so the initial stock of new iPhones may decline as a result.

On the day when TSMC suffered a large-scale virus invasion, Huawei held a performance communication meeting for consumer business, at which Yu Chengdong announced that he would release the world's first 7nm process mobile phone processor at the IFA in September. Although Yu Chengdong did not disclose the factory of Kirin 980, previous revelations showed that the company was still manufactured by TSMC.

TSMC also said in a statement that the company's confidential information was not damaged by virus attacks, and most customers have been notified.

In terms of mobile phone processors, the supply of processors from Apple and Huawei may be affected by this virus. Who do you think is the most disturbed?
