Christie's auction house confirmed being hit by a ransomware attack orchestrated by a Russia-linked cybercriminal gang. The attack led to the theft of personal information of around 500,000 clients, with demands for payment within a week. Christie's initially faced a 'state of panic' with senior staff avoiding questions about data ransom.

RansomHub claimed negotiations for a resolution were halted by Christie's after attempting to extort a ransom. The gang posted stolen data samples, hinting at identification-related details. Christie's is now cooperating with authorities, regulators, and informing affected clients, stressing no evidence of misuse.
