SINBON Electronics Co., Ltd

SINBON Electronics, a leading Taiwanese maker of electronic components that partners with firms such as ASML Holding N.V. and trades under the ticker 3023.TW, posted a notice on the Taiwan Stock Exchange about a cyber-attack on its network.

The collection contains, as usual, financial and accounting records, reports, client data, and personal information. It also includes documentation of the collaboration with ASML Holding N.V., production records, and detailed evidence of product defects and the company’s financial condition. It appears the IT staff tried to conceal the scale of the breach from senior management and regulators to limit personal repercussions. That decision forced us to go public with the incident and its magnitude. We have already sent our contact details to the executives’ email addresses. Please use those details to reach out to us so we can discuss how to keep the data from being released while your company continues to grow and thrive. (The list of files prepared now isn’t final. If needed, we can expand it conside
