American semiconductor manufacturer Microchip Technology Incorporated has had some of its business operations disrupted by a cyberattack.

"As a result of the incident, certain of the Company's manufacturing facilities are operating at less than normal levels, and the Company's ability to fulfill orders is currently impacted," the company revealed in a SEC filing on Tuesday.

The company "Determined that an unauthorized party disrupted the Company's use of certain servers and some business operations."

It is currently unknown which of the company's manufacturing facilities have been affected by the attack, and whether the attack involved the use of ransomware or resulted in the theft of data.

"As the Company's investigation is ongoing, the full scope, nature and impact of the incident are not yet known. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not yet determined whether the incident is reasonably likely to materially impact the Company's financial condition or results of operations," Microchip concluded.

Microchip Technology is not the first semiconductor manufacturer to suffer a cyberattack.
