Christie's website remains offline as of Monday after a "technical security issue" shut it down Thursday night — just days before the venerable auction house planned to flog $840 million worth of art.
Why Christie's auction house was attacked
As of Friday morning and still today, Christie's is redirecting visitors to a temporary website, reportedly due to a cyber attack. It is not currently believed that any customer data has been stolen.
The temporary website currently has the following message:
We apologize that our full website is currently offline. We are trying to resolve this as soon as possible and apologize for any inconvenience.
