ChipSoft Hack Confirms Patient Data Theft at GP Practices and Two Clinics

Hospitals report no signs of stolen records pending the final forensic report.

Overview

  • ChipSoft told De Waag and the Van der Hoeven Clinic on Friday that hackers viewed and stole data tied to about 6,000 people, prompting both to notify clients.
  • The national GP association said forensic work confirms thieves took personal and medical details from multiple practices, prompting clinics to warn patients.
  • Rijnstate, CWZ, Rivierenland, Bravis and Bernhoven said their checks found no signs of stolen records, and Flevo Hospital said its data remains safe even as its portal stays offline.
  • Providers outlined concrete risks for those affected, including phishing attempts, identity fraud and tailored scams that exploit personal health details to win trust.
  • ChipSoft’s software runs at about 70% of Dutch hospitals, and the ongoing forensic probe will determine which sites and data fields were hit.
