台積電昨天證實,生產製造核心「電腦整合製造(CIM)系統」前天傍晚遭電腦病毒入侵,導致北中南三地工廠大當機,經緊急切斷連線,重灌軟體,逐步恢復生產線。這是台積電CIM系統首次因病毒感染影響工廠運作,內部緊急下達動員令,希望今天全數恢復所有產線。
張忠謀交棒不到兩個月
台積電創辦人張忠謀六月五日才剛交棒退休,八月三日傍晚就出現公司成立以來機台因病毒感染無法運作的最嚴重情況,且影響遍及竹科、中科與南科廠區,台積電幾乎所有的台灣廠區都受到影響。
資安模範生意外出包
尤其,台積電正值七奈米和十二奈米產能全數衝刺時刻,又是全台資安防範模範生,此次釀成成立以來最大生產體系大當機,不僅震驚全球供應鏈,更讓台積電感受空前的震撼和緊張。
台積電昨天不願透露發生原因,僅表示內部已掌握發生原因與源頭,可以判定這次並不是駭客攻擊事件,也不是有人刻意鎖定攻擊,並可以確保事件不再發生。台積電強調,目前病毒已被控制,也有解決方案,受影響機台正逐步恢復生產;受病毒感染的程度因工廠而異,部分在短時間內已恢復正常,其餘預計在一天內,即最慢今天都會恢復正常。
台積電不評論事件是否有人為疏失,僅表示目前以恢復生產為首要重點工作,並將與客戶溝通,內部還不談相關責任追究。
熟悉資安防護的人士透露,置放病毒的人「實在太厲害」,竟能同時撼動台積電竹科、中科和南科三個地方主力生產工廠,不排除可能是內部員工所為。
「連門禁系統也掛了」
據了解,台積電前晚十時即發現電腦病毒入侵CIM,導致二座八吋廠Fab三、Fab五,以及竹科Fab十二、南科Fab十四、中科Fab十五等十二吋廠大當機。有網友在批踢踢(PTT)網站爆料,稱「聽到很多台積友人回報台積大當機中,連門禁系統都掛了。」甚至有人表示,「聽說全中」、「門禁當機接著又產線當機,感覺不單純。」
據了解,台積電在前天晚間及昨天一早就火速召回資安及CIM維護工程師,全力搶修。為避免生產機密遭竊,立即切斷所有生產體系和CIM的電腦連線,導致北中南三地工廠大當機。
產線當機恐影響營收
台積電供應鏈強調,只要解決CIM遭入侵的病毒問題,系統軟體重灌,應可以逐步恢復生產。但市場人士說,產線當機對公司產能與營收一定會有影響,這部分有待台積電做進一步說明。

台積電今天下午4點46分發布重訊,針對電腦病毒感染事件提供進一步說明。台積電指出,病毒感染的原因是「新機台在安裝軟體的過程中操作失誤」,因此病毒在新機台連接到公司內部電腦網路時發生病毒擴散的情況,但是台積電資料完整性和機密資訊都未受到影響。到今天下午兩點為止,約八成受影響機台已經恢復正常。
台積電指出,三日傍晚受到電腦病毒感染,影響台灣廠區部分電腦系統及廠房機台,受病毒感染的程度因工廠而異。台積電已控制此病毒感染範圍,同時找到解決方案。至台灣時間下午兩點為止,約百分之八十受影響的機台已經恢復正常。台積電預計在八月六日前,所有受影響機台皆能夠恢復正常。
台積電表示,預估這次病毒感染事件將導致晶圓出貨延遲以及成本增加,對台積公司第三季的營收影響約為百分之三,毛利率影響約為一個百分點。台積電有信心第三季晶圓出貨延遲數量將於第四季補回,全年業績展望以美元計仍將維持7月19日所說的高個位數成長。
台積電表示,公司多數客戶都已收到相關事件的通知,台積電也正與客戶緊密合作,溝通其晶圓交貨時程,台積公司將在未來幾天內與個別客戶溝通細部資訊。
台積電表示,已採取措施彌補此安全問題,同時將進一步加強資訊安全措施。

中國時報【黃有容╱台北報導】
針對台積電北中南3地機台產線「中毒」,導致機台同步遭病毒感染,工研院前主任杜紫宸質疑,一般電腦系統病毒應該無法「直接感染」到晶圓生產系統,實在「匪夷所思」,更呼籲為防投資人恐慌,台積電應盡快進一步說明。
資安專家則認為,駭客已升級,這年代不會「只做」讓企業系統感染病毒這種事,駭客會「客製化」攻擊特定產業或頂尖企業,遭病毒感染大多只是第一步,這也凸顯台積電資安問題。
一位不具名的業內半導體工程師也指出,不管是刻意或疏失,資安事件發生一定是人為因素,只是事件發生在紀律嚴明的台積電,令人難以想像。
杜紫宸稍晚在個人臉書上公開質疑,半導體機台上所用的軟體,推測應是專屬作業系統,一般電腦系統上的病毒,應無法直接「感染」晶圓生產系統,且多處機台「同時中毒」也不正常,疑點重重。
杜紫宸受訪時表示,如果像台積電所說是病毒而非駭客,據業內人士猜測,有一種可能是「機台買進來時就帶有原始病毒」,而且可能設定了一樣的毒發時間;另一種可能,是從最上層的雲端控制系統感染。另外,若原因為前者,為什麼只有台積電的機台毒發,而購買一樣機台的其他業者沒有傳出災情,他認為「很詭異」。
資安專家則提醒,現在的駭客會以「客製化」方式針對特定企業攻擊,而病毒感染就是駭客入侵的第一步驟;病毒被植入系統之後,經過一段潛伏期,再攻擊次要目標,轉移企業注意力,接著才會攻擊真正的目標,去年遠銀被駭事件就是一例,最後遭駭客盜轉高達18億元。專家建議,台積電應做全面性檢查。
台積電在台灣產業影響力「牽一髮動全身」,杜紫宸認為,目前台積電給出的訊息太少,無法消弭投資人疑慮,若不知道病毒來自哪裡、中毒原因,永遠不知道會不會再發生,呼籲台積電在不影響商業機密保護下,向投資人具體說明。

TSMC confirmed yesterday that the production of the core "Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) System" was invaded by computer viruses the night before, causing the North, Central and South China factories to crash, re-injecting software and resuming the production line. This is the first time that TSMC's CIM system has affected the operation of the factory due to virus infection. The internal emergency order has been issued, and it is hoped that all production lines will be restored today.
Zhang Zhongmou pays less than two months
Zhang Zhongmou, founder of TSMC, just retired on June 5th. On the evening of August 3, the most serious situation that the machine could not operate due to virus infection has appeared since the establishment of the company, and it affects all branches of Zhuke, Zhongke and Nanke. All Taiwanese factories are affected.
Zi'an model student unexpectedly out of the package
In particular, TSMC is in full swing of the capacity of seven nanometers and twelve nanometers. It is also a model for the protection of Taiwan's security. The biggest production system since its establishment has not only shocked the global supply chain, but also made TSMC feel Unprecedented shock and tension.
TSMC did not want to disclose the reason yesterday. It only said that the internal cause and source have been mastered. It can be judged that this is not a hacking attack, nor is someone deliberately locking the attack, and can ensure that the incident does not happen again. TSMC stressed that the virus has been controlled and there are solutions. The affected machines are gradually resumed production. The degree of virus infection varies from factory to factory, and some have returned to normal in a short period of time. The rest is expected to be the slowest in one day. It will return to normal today.
TSMC does not comment on whether there is any incident in the incident. It only indicates that the current focus is on restoring production, and will communicate with customers. The relevant accountability is not discussed internally.
Those familiar with security protection revealed that the people who placed the virus were "very powerful," and they were able to simultaneously shake up the main production plants in three places: TSMC, Zhongke and Nanke. It is not possible to rule out internal employees.
"The access control system is also hung up."
It is understood that TSMC found computer virus invading CIM at 10 o'clock in the evening, resulting in two Bagua factory Fab III, Fab V, and Bamboo Fab 12, Nanke Fab XIV, Zhongke Fab 15 and other 12 factories. Big crash. Some netizens broke the news on the PTT website and said that "I heard a lot of Taiwanese friends returning to the TSMC and even the access control system was hung up." Some even said that "I heard that the whole middle school" and "access control were down Then the production line crashed and it was not simple."
It is understood that TSMC recalled Zi'an and CIM maintenance engineers in the evening before yesterday morning and yesterday morning, and spared no effort to repair. In order to avoid theft of production secrets, the computer connection of all production systems and CIM was immediately cut off, resulting in a large crash in the factories in North, Central and South China.
Production line crashes will affect revenue
The TSMC supply chain emphasizes that as long as the CIM is invaded by the virus, the system soft weight irrigation should be able to gradually resume production. However, market participants said that the production line crash will have an impact on the company's production capacity and revenue. This part is subject to further explanation by TSMC.
TSMC has suffered a lot of damage
● The production line is suspected of being invaded. It is estimated that the revenue will be 3 billion yuan.

TSMC issued a renewed news at 4:46 pm today to provide further explanations for computer virus infections. TSMC pointed out that the cause of the virus infection was "the new machine was operating incorrectly during the installation of the software", so the virus spread when the new machine was connected to the company's internal computer network, but TSMC data integrity and confidential information None of them have been affected. By 2 o'clock this afternoon, about 80% of the affected machines have returned to normal.
TSMC pointed out that it was infected with computer viruses in the evening of the third day, affecting some computer systems and factory machines in the Taiwan factory. The degree of virus infection varies from factory to factory. TSMC has controlled the scope of this virus infection and found a solution. At about 2 pm Taiwan time, about 80% of the affected machines have returned to normal. TSMC expects that all affected machines will return to normal before August 6.
TSMC said that the virus infection incident will lead to delays in wafer shipments and increased costs. The impact on TSMC's third quarter revenue is about 3%, and the gross profit margin impact is about one percentage point. TSMC is confident that the number of wafer shipment delays in the third quarter will be replenished in the fourth quarter, and the full-year outlook will continue to maintain the high single-digit growth in July 19 in US dollars.
TSMC said that most of the company's customers have received notice of relevant events, and TSMC is also working closely with customers to communicate their wafer delivery schedules. TSMC will communicate detailed information with individual customers in the next few days.
TSMC said that measures have been taken to make up for this security issue and information security measures will be further strengthened.
TSMC has suffered a lot of damage
● Surprise! At the same time, the three places are poisonous. TSMC should be released.
● The production line is suspected of being invaded. It is estimated that the revenue will be 3 billion yuan.

China Times [Huang Yourong, Taipei Report]
In response to the "poisoning" of the TSMC North Central South 3 production line, the machine was infected with the virus at the same time. Du Zizhen, former director of the Industrial and Technological Research Institute, questioned that the general computer system virus should not be "directly infected" into the wafer production system, which is "unbelievable". It also calls for anti-investor panic, TSMC should further explain as soon as possible.
The security experts believe that the hackers have been upgraded. In this era, they will not "do only" the enterprise system to be infected with the virus. The hackers will "customize" to attack specific industries or top enterprises. Most of the virus infections are only the first. Steps, this also highlights TSMC's security issues.
An unnamed industry semiconductor engineer also pointed out that whether it is deliberate or negligent, the Zi'an incident must be a human factor, but the incident occurred in the disciplined TSMC, which is unimaginable.
Du Ziyan publicly questioned her personal Facebook later. The software used on the semiconductor machine is supposed to be a proprietary operating system. The virus on the general computer system should not directly "infect" the wafer production system, and multiple machines. At the same time, poisoning is not normal, and there are many doubts.
Du Ziyan said in an interview that if TSMC said it was a virus rather than a hacker, according to speculation in the industry, there may be a possibility that "the machine will carry the original virus when it is bought," and it may set the same poisoning time. Another possibility is to get infected from the top level of the cloud control system. In addition, if the reason is the former, why is the TSMC machine only poisoned, and other operators who bought the same machine did not report the disaster, he thought that it was "very strange."
The security experts reminded that the current hackers will attack the specific enterprise in a "customized" way, and the virus infection is the first step of the hacker invasion; after the virus is implanted into the system, after a period of incubation, the attack is secondary. The goal is to divert the attention of the company and then attack the real target. Last year, the incident of the bankruptcy of Yuanyin was an example. In the end, the hacker hacked as much as 1.8 billion yuan. Experts suggest that TSMC should conduct a comprehensive inspection.
TSMC’s influence in Taiwan’s industry is “taking a whole body.” Du Zizhen believes that TSMC’s message is too small to dispel investors’ doubts. If you don’t know where the virus is coming from, the cause of poisoning, you will never know if it will happen again. It is called for TSMC to specify to investors without affecting the protection of trade secrets.

TSMC is confident that the number of wafer shipment delays in the third quarter will be replenished in the fourth quarter, and the full-year outlook will continue to maintain the high single-digit growth in July 19 in US dollars.
TSMC said that most of the company's customers have received notice of relevant events, and TSMC is also working closely with customers to communicate their wafer delivery schedules. TSMC will communicate detailed information with individual customers in the next few days.
TSMC said that measures have been taken to make up for this security issue and information security measures will be further strengthened.
TSMC has suffered a lot of damage
● Surprise! At the same time, the three places are poisonous. TSMC should be released.
● The production line is suspected of being invaded. It is estimated that the revenue will be 3 billion yuan.

In response to the "poisoning" of the TSMC North Central South 3 production line, the machine was infected with the virus at the same time. Du Zizhen, former director of the Industrial and Technological Research Institute, questioned that the general computer system virus should not be "directly infected" into the wafer production system, which is "unbelievable". It also calls for anti-investor panic, TSMC should further explain as soon as possible.
The security experts believe that the hackers have been upgraded. In this era, they will not "do only" the enterprise system to be infected with the virus. The hackers will "customize" to attack specific industries or top enterprises. Most of the virus infections are only the first. Steps, this also highlights TSMC's security issues.
An unnamed industry semiconductor engineer also pointed out that whether it is deliberate or negligent, the Zi'an incident must be a human factor, but the incident occurred in the disciplined TSMC, which is unimaginable.
Du Ziyan publicly questioned her personal Facebook later. The software used on the semiconductor machine is supposed to be a proprietary operating system. The virus on the general computer system should not directly "infect" the wafer production system, and multiple machines. At the same time, poisoning is not normal, and there are many doubts.
Du Ziyan said in an interview that if TSMC said it was a virus rather than a hacker, according to speculation in the industry, there may be a possibility that "the machine will carry the original virus when it is bought," and it may set the same poisoning time. Another possibility is to get infected from the top level of the cloud control system. In addition, if the reason is the former, why is the TSMC machine only poisoned, and other operators who bought the same machine did not report the disaster, he thought that it was "very strange."
The security experts reminded that the current hackers will attack the specific enterprise in a "customized" way, and the virus infection is the first step of the hacker invasion; after the virus is implanted into the system, after a period of incubation, the attack is secondary. The goal is to divert the attention of the company and then attack the real target. Last year, the incident of the bankruptcy of Yuanyin was an example. In the end, the hacker hacked as much as 1.8 billion yuan. Experts suggest that TSMC should conduct a comprehensive inspection.
TSMC’s influence in Taiwan’s industry is “taking a whole body.” Du Zizhen believes that TSMC’s message is too small to dispel investors’ doubts. If you don’t know where the virus is coming from, the cause of poisoning, you will never know if it will happen again. It is called for TSMC to specify to investors without affecting the protection of trade secrets.
