Overview
- ChipSoft, which reported a cyberattack Tuesday, took parts of its platform offline and began issuing new security keys to customers.
- Z-CERT alerted care providers, and many hospitals cut VPN links or switched off patient portals used to view appointments and results as a precaution.
- Hospitals report that care continues and internal records remain available, with no confirmed theft of patient files disclosed so far.
- The Dutch privacy watchdog says it has received more than 20 data-breach notifications tied to the ChipSoft incident under the 72-hour reporting rule.
- Early checks point to greater impact on GP and pharmacy systems than on hospital records, and some hospitals with deeper ChipSoft integration such as Bravis and Bernhoven kept portals offline longer.
