Microchip Technology says certain operations disrupted by cyber incident – ET CISO

Microchip Technology said on Tuesday an “unauthorized party” disrupted the company’s use of certain servers and some business operations, marking the latest security incident at a U.S. chipmaker this year.

After detecting “potentially suspicious activity” in its IT systems on Saturday, Microchip began taking steps to assess and contain the issue, it said in a filing.

The company, shares of which were down about 2% in extended trading, said its manufacturing facilities were operating at less-than-normal levels and its ability to fulfill orders was impacted.

This comes at a time when the company is grappling with slowing orders for chips as clients work through excess inventory built up during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Chip giant Advanced Micro Devices had also said earlier this year it was investigating claims that its data was stolen in a hack.

Microchip said it has shut down certain systems and launched an investigation with the assistance of external cybersecurity advisers.

The company said the full scope, nature and impact of the incident was not yet known and it has not determined whether the disturbance was likely to materially affect its financial condition. (Reporting by Zaheer Kachwala in Bengaluru; Editing by Shilpi Majumdar)

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
