Christie’s Hackers Fail to Post Files as Deadline Passes

For the past week, the hackers who attacked Christie’s have been threatening to release a large trove of client data if the auctioneer didn’t pay a ransom by 11 a.m. New York time on Monday. That deadline came and went, and the gang has yet to drop files on the dark web.

The hacking group known as RansomHub claimed responsibility on May 27 for the cyberattack that struck the auction house earlier that month. They posted a countdown clock on their extortion site along with a message suggesting they’d release client data, including names and passport details, on Monday morning.
