LEGO Website Hacked to Promote Fake Cryptocurrency Scam Token

LEGO's official website was hacked briefly to promote a fraudulent cryptocurrency token, urging visitors to buy a "LEGO Coin" in exchange for Ethereum. While the breach lasted just over an hour, no user accounts were compromised, but the incident highlights the growing risks of online scams targeting high-profile platforms.

  • LEGO's website was breached for 75 minutes on October 5, 2024, with a fraudulent banner promoting the sale of a fake LEGO Coin using Ethereum.
  • Clicking the banner redirected users to Uniswap to purchase the scam token rather than stealing wallet information directly.
  • Despite the high-profile nature of the attack, LEGO confirmed no user accounts were compromised and the issue was quickly resolved.

This incident underscores the growing risks posed by cybercriminals using creative ways to defraud users on trusted platforms.
