"Christie’s Says Ransomware Attack Impacts 45,000 People"

In a new update, Auction house Christie’s informed authorities that the data breach caused by a recent ransomware attack impacted the information of roughly 45,000 individuals.  The intrusion was discovered on May 9.  An investigation showed that the attackers managed to steal some files containing personal information. The notification letter sample submitted by Christie’s to the Maine AG does not specify what type of data was compromised besides names, driver’s license numbers, and non-driver identification card numbers.  The company noted that impacted individuals are being offered identity theft and fraud monitoring services for 12 months, which suggests the hackers stole sensitive personal information. The RansomHub ransomware group has taken credit for the attack, claiming to have stolen information such as name, birth date, address, and data from identification documents. The hackers claimed to have stolen information belonging to at least 500,000 Christie’s clients.
