Cyber Heist at Christie’s: RansomHub Hackers Threaten Elite Art World with Data Leak Countdown

Hot Take:

Like a high-stakes game of Battleship, RansomHub seems to have hit the S.S. Christie's just before the art world's version of Fleet Week. But instead of sinking ships, they're threatening to auction off the privacy of the rich and artsy—a heist with less Monet and more... well, money. Christie's may have dodged a bullet with no financial data stolen, but when it comes to ransomware, the art of the deal has a whole new meaning.
