Taiwanese authorities have detained three people for allegedly stealing technology trade secrets from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC), the world's largest chip foundry, Taiwanese prosecutors said on Tuesday. The three were detained late last month after TSMC reported that an internal investigation had shown that former and current employees had illegally obtained information from the company, the Taiwan High Prosecutors Office said in a statement.
