A new report from Reuters details how Apple and its Indian supplier, Tata Electronics, are responding to a massive data breach that exposed sensitive files earlier this month. Here are the details.<\/p>\n

A few days ago, Tata Electronics confirmed that it fell victim to a cyberattack that, as reported by Reuters, stole confidential files from Apple and Tesla.<\/p>\n

according to the data the report, more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB were subsequently published on the dark web.<\/p>\n

Reuters says the leak included Apple manufacturing specifications, quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components, emails, employee passport copies, and years of system logs.<\/p>\n

Now, Reuters reports that Tata has moved to restrict \u201cinternal access to sensitive \u200bsystems\u201d as it investigates the leak, and has hired \u201ca global consultant to conduct a forensic audit.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the report, Reuters notes that Apple is now also involved in the investigations:<\/p>\n

An \u201cApple Silicon Engineering Group\u201d document from 2023 maps Apple parts numbers to TSMC\u2019s numbers, with details of Apple employees in the document\u2019s revision history.<\/p>\n
