📲 THE TATA ELECTRONICS DATA BREACH -- Apple supplier Tata Electronics has tightened security across its operations, restricting remote access to sensitive internal tools to select employees, after a breach spilled client data onto the dark web. Leaked papers of TSMC, Qualcomm, Tesla and Apple are part of the breach... @MunsifV and I report new details after our earlier story on the cyber incident this week. New findings are: → Tata has restricted remote access to sensitive internal tools -- like purchase-order systems -- to a select few employees, across all its facilities, not just a handful of factories. → It has hired a global consultant to run a forensic audit, and reported the incident to the Indian government and its clients. The source didn't name the agency hired. → Apple's security team is working closely with Tata on near- and long-term measures, one source said. → The leak is wider than first known. Beyond Apple and Tesla, it contains purported documents from chip giants TSMC and Qualcomm — at least 16 TSMC files and folders, and at least 23 from Qualcomm. Both make parts used in iPhones. → A 2022 document stamped "TSMC Secret," with purported product reliability test details of a TSMC component, included photographs. A 2021 Qualcomm document details the mechanical workings of a power-management chip, watermarked "Confidential – May Contain Trade Secrets." The stakes are high for Apple and Tata both -- India is on track to make 26% of the world's iPhones in 2026, up from 6% four years ago. READ HERE With @TonyMunroe1
