Secret Information on the Production of Chip "merged" from the EU to China, and maybe to

The Dutch ASML enhances security rules through secret information leakage. The ASML, which controls 90% of the market of lithographic equipment for the production of chips, has encountered the leakage of secret information, reports The Verge. As it turned out, the former employee of the company stole secret files with developments and resold them to China.

According to the ASML, the resulting leakage has no serious danger to the company's business, but it did not specify what the former employee stole. Some safety experts suggest that a former employee has been provoked for industrial espionage, as ASML has recently signed an agreement with Japan and the US on the ban on the supply of any technologies for the production of China and Russia.

It is possible that in the future, the PRC will share stolen technologies with partners with the Russian Federation, which are lagging behind in the production of modern chipps from the civilized world for 30 years. Today, there are only three countries in the world that produce industrial equipment for the development of modern computer chips. These are the Netherlands, Japan and the US.

They are very scrupulously monitoring the use of their EUV systems used by Taiwan and South Korea, and do not allow its sale to the sub-country. By this time, thanks to EUV equipment from the Netherlands, Taiwanese TSMC is capable of producing chips with technology with technology, while the Chinese are satisfied with 16 nm technology, and Russia is stuck at 65 nm in general.
