A Taiwanese museum that houses some of the world’s most precious Chinese artworks has confirmed that up to 100,000 high-resolution images of paintings and calligraphy leaked online

– some of them turning up for sale on a Chinese shopping platform for less than $1. The National Palace Museum in Taipei said Tuesday it had reached out to Taobao, a shopping website popular in mainland China, to prevent the images from spreading. “We are looking into it and have hired lawyers to raise to Taobao about the intellectual properties and damages involved,” said deputy museum director Huang Yung-tai.

The result of that investigation found a staff member who was tasked with shrinking file sizes of scans had transferred some of the artworks from the museum’s server in a bid to expedite the process. But the private server was hacked, the museum said. “This rendered it possible for people not related to the museum to fetch the images in part before combining them to get the full version,” the museum explained, adding that the employee received a warning.
