TSMC VIRUS
About:
TSMC is the first foundry to
provide 7-nanometer production capabilities. The world's largest contract chip
maker, which creates chips for iPhones and other devices, is recovering from
weak computer viruses, but warnings have been made, but warnings have been
delayed due to delays in shipments and its factories. Reduce. The company said
on Sunday that a computer virus outbreak has killed Taiwan Semiconductor
manufacturing company, which is the third quarter results of the world's
largest contract chip maker. In this post we discuss the virus and this
company, we hope you like this post and will get some useful information from
this post.

| TSMC says that computer virus affected third quarter revenue |
Main points:
1.) Many computer systems and
fab devices were infected: TSMC
2.) The company is expecting
full recovery on August 6
3.) This event is expected to
cause shipment delay and extra cost.
Description:
On Saturday, Apple Inc., a
major supplier for TSMC, said that many of its computer systems and Fab tools
are infected with the virus, but the problem was rooted. The company expects to
recover completely on August 6, the company said in an updated update on
Sunday.
The Taiwanese largest company
blamed the transition on the mistake made during the software installation,
which spread through its network. The chip maker estimates that the revenue of
the third quarter will be $ 8.55 billion, from pre-estimated 3 percent to 8.45
billion dollars, while gross margins will decrease by about 1 percent. This
phenomenon underlines the global nature of the technology supply chain, in
which companies like Apple and Qualcomm Inc. rely on hundreds of suppliers
around the world.
The company believes that the
delay in the third quarter will be recovered in the fourth quarter of 2018, and
will maintain the forecast of high single digit revenue growth for the 2018 US
dollar given on July 19, 2018. TSMC says that there was no confidential
information in the attack of virus, and most customers were notified.

| Apple Supplier TSMC |
The effect of apples is
unclear. Last week, the iPhone manufacturer had exceeded the market value of $
1 trillion on sales force for its leading smartphone. TSMC statement is that
according to data compiled by Bloomberg, the virus will affect snap time for
apples, which is TSMC largest customer
and its revenue is more than 21 percent.
Apple has increased the
production of three new iPhone models for this fall, which is banking to
continue the pace of recent sales. It is also planning on the new iPad and
Apple Watch model, which historically used chips produced by TSMC. Apple is
ready for hiccups like the last minute supply chain facing TSMC and can work
through any potential problem. An Apple spokesman did not respond immediately
to the comments request on Sunday.
Which provides a processor
for many devices running Android software, gives TSMC nearly 6 percent of its
revenue, it diversifies the product so that some chips can be made by
competitors like Samsung. Huawei Technologies Co., MediaTek Inc., Nvidia Corp,
and Texas Instruments Inc. also rely on TSMC to design chip designs.
TSMC said that the virus
outbreak was during a software installation for a new device, which caused the
virus to spread after the device was connected to the computer network. Data
integrity and confidential information was not compromised. TSMC has taken
action to stop this security gap and further strengthen security measures.
