Cyber Heist at Christie’s: RansomHub Hackers Threaten Elite Art World with Data Leak Countdown
When RansomHub hacked Christie’s, they didn’t just auction off art—they auctioned off a crisis. Now, with a ticking data-release clock, Christie’s bids farewell to cyber peace. #AuctionHouseAnxiety
Hot Take:

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.
