AI chip manufacturer TSMC, which is a subcontractor to, among others, Nvidia and Apple, has discovered a possible information leak, reports Bloomberg.
The company states that they discovered the leak early and that several former employees have been fired. According to the company, they tried to get out critical information about the AI chips that will start being mass-produced later this year.
According to local authorities, two former employees have been arrested suspected of having stolen patent-protected technology, writes Financial Times. In addition to the two former employees, another person is suspected of "crimes against national security laws". Since three years ago, certain technology in the country has been protected by Taiwan's security laws.
