Hacker Group Says It Will Auction Off Christie's Client Data

RansomHub says it will auction off Christie's client data after its cyberattack on the auction house's network, having earlier tried to extort Christie's for an undisclosed sum. The group claimed to have obtained personal information from over 500,000 clients worldwide, and it posted a sample of the data as evidence. According to a Christie's statement shared by representative Jessica Stanley, the attackers accessed client names and, for a subset of clients, other personal identity information taken from passports and driving licenses. Christie's says no financial or transactional records were compromised, and it has notified affected clients and the FBI and British police.
