Christie's Auction House Hacked, Sensitive Data from 500,000 Customers Stolen


A hacker group claims to have stolen sensitive data from at least 500,000 Christie's customers. Now they are threatening to publish it.

Ransomhub claims to have obtained “sensitive personal information” of at least 500,000 private clients worldwide, including full names, genders, birth dates, birthplaces, and nationalities. Identity theft facilitated using Social Security Numbers (SSNs), dates of birth, and other personally identifiable information (PII) can be exploited to open fraudulent accounts, apply for loans, or commit other forms of financial fraud, Kelly added. Ani Chaudhuri, CEO of Dasera, said this incident highlights cybercriminals’ growing boldness and sophistication, as they aim to exploit vulnerabilities in sectors traditionally less associated with cyber threats.
