On Friday night, cryptocurrency scammers briefly hacked the LEGO website to promote a fake Lego token that could be purchased with Ethereum.
During the breach, the hacker replaced the main banner for the official LEGO website with an image showing crypto tokens branded with the “LEGO” logo and text stating, “Our new LEGO Coin is officially out! Buy the new LEGO Coin today and unlock secret rewards!”
According to LEGO Reddit moderator “mescad,” the breach took place at 9 PM EST and lasted approximately 75 minutes until 10:15 PM ET, when the site was restored.
Unlike many cryptocurrency scams, this one did not promote a malicious site with a crypto drainer that stole your assets when you connected your wallet.
Instead, clicking the “Buy now” link brought visitors to the Uniswap cryptocurrency platform, where you could purchase the LEGO scam token using Ethereum.
