Overview

In 2024, Christie’s experienced a huge privacy breach. Clients of the auction house – including many high net worth individuals – may now be at risk of scams, ID theft and fraud, after cybercriminals hacked Christie’s systems and allegedly sold off the company’s data to the highest bidder.

The information stolen in the breach came from identification documents, including passports and driving licences, which Christie’s uses for client ID checks. The hackers claimed to have stolen “sensitive personal information” belonging to “at least 500,000 private clients”.

Lawyers in the US have already settled a class-action lawsuit. UK clients also deserve justice and compensation for this security failure.
