TSMC says virus that shut down its plants is a WannaCry variant
Over the weekend, chip manufacturer TSMC reported that some of its fabrication plants had to be shut down because of a virus that had infected the company’s systems.
While some were able to resume operations quickly, others were out of commission for up to a day.
Now, TSMC has blamed a WannaCry variant for the disruption.
Bloomberg reports that the company has resumed full operations but shipment delays are expected.
