British auction house Christie's said a cyberattack has forced it to take down its website and move one live auction.
Christie's did not respond to requests for comment about what kind of cyberattack it is dealing with or whether data was stolen.
The company reported $6.2 billion in sales last year.
The New York Times reportedly spoke with two employees who complained that the leaders of the company were offering little information about the attack to lower-level workers.
Christie's and other major auction houses have faced cybersecurity issues in the past.
Last year, a German researcher discovered a vulnerability in Christie's platform that allowed anyone to see the exact location of people who uploaded photos of items they wanted to auction off.
