Microchip Technology Manufacturing Operations Disrupted After Cyberattack

American chipmaker Microchip Technology Incorporated has disclosed that a cyberattack impacted its systems over the weekend, disrupting operations across multiple manufacturing facilities.

Some Microchip Technology manufacturing facilities operate at reduced capacity, affecting the company's ability to meet orders. Microchip Technology also had to take steps to manage the situation, such as shutting down some systems and isolating the affected ones following the breach. Microchip Technology is currently evaluating the extent and impact of the cyberattack.

The Play ransomware gang added Microchip Technology to its data leak site on Tuesday, according to several cybersecurity researchers.
