The Target: Sotheby’s is a leading global auction house for fine art and high-value items, as well as an asset-backed lending services provider.

The Vector: “On July 24, 2025, Sotheby’s became aware that certain Sotheby’s data appeared to have been removed from our environment by an unknown actor,” reads the letter sent to impacted individuals.
