A cyber attack that has hit a group of wealthy Mayfair art dealers have caused them a loss of over 1 million. At least nine galleries or individuals were affected, including Hauser & Wirth, and London-based dealers Simon Lee, Thomas Dane, Rosenfeld Porcini and Laura Bartlett. The Art Newspaper has so far identified nine galleries and individuals targeted by this scam. The hackers would first hack into the email account of the art dealer. They would then monitor all correspondence and when a PDF invoice is sent to a client, its intercepted. A duplicate fraudulent one is then sent to the client, asking them to ignore the first mail and make the payment to the account given in the new mail.”]
