A hacker group called RansomHub said it was behind the cyberattack that hit the Christie's website just days before its marquee spring sales began, forcing the auction house to resort to alternatives to online bidding.
The group claimed that it had gained access to sensitive information about the world's wealthiest art collectors, posting only a few examples of names and birthdays. Several cybersecurity experts considered the claim plausible.
Hackers said that Christie's failed to pay a ransom when one was demanded. We attempted to come to a reasonable resolution with them but they ceased communication midway through, the hackers wrote in their dark web post.
