A Dutch healthcare software vendor has been knocked offline after a ransomware attack, with ChipSoft’s website going down on 7 April 2026 and remaining unreachable at the time of writing, according to DataBreaches[.]Net. ChipSoft provides hospitals with patient record software and serves around 80 percent of all facilities in the country.
The ransomware element of the cyberattack was confirmed in an advisory penned by Z-CERT, the Netherlands’ computer emergency response team for the healthcare industry, and included in a statement published on Wednesday morning. The group behind the attack is not yet known, according to the report. Despite the disruption to ChipSoft’s public-facing services, the majority of hospitals the company serves remain able to use their patient portals.
