The hospital discovered the data breach earlier this month.
Names, login names, email addresses and phone numbers of hospital employees have been leaked.
The data of employees of organizations with which Radboudumc collaborates are also on the street.
The hospital now reports that a former employee has put files online on GitHub, an online platform where software developers share knowledge with each other.
It mainly concerned scripts, codes that are used to automate processes.
However, it also contained confidential information, such as personal data.
An investigation by the hospital has shown that the information has been viewed by third parties.
A person gained access to the hospital's servers through the scripts and placed software on them to generate cryptocurrencies.
The hospital has filed a complaint against both persons.
The leak was previously reported to the Dutch Data Protection Authority.
