Christie's Confirms Cyberattack Compromised Client Data

Auction house targeted by ransomware group RansomHub, affecting online bidding and exposing personal information.

Christie's online bidding system was forced offline due to a cyberattack earlier this month.
RansomHub, a top-three ransomware group, claimed responsibility for the attack and threatened to release stolen data.
The cybercriminals claim to have accessed personal data of over 500,000 clients, but no financial records were compromised.
Christie's has notified privacy regulators and is communicating with affected clients.
The incident occurred just before a major spring sales event, impacting art transactions worth millions.
