Apple supplier, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. had to close several of its factories last night after a computer virus affected the systems. Bloomberg reports that TSMC was forced to shut down as the virus attack took down production at multiple factories. At this point in time, the details of the virus are scarce but the shutdowns prevailed as TSMC ramped up its chip production for the 2018 iPhone models. Let’s dive in to see some more details on the matter.

TSMC is the largest chipmaker in the world which supplies components to companies like Apple, Qualcomm, Nvidia, and ADM. The chipmaker told Bloomberg that the computer virus had infected “a number of its fabrication tools” and the degree of impacts vary from one factory to the other.
