The LEGO Group homepage was hacked and posted a cryptocurrency scam, which has now been deleted
On October 6, it was reported that the toy manufacturer Lego Group has removed the "Lego Coin" token scam that briefly appeared on its homepage after being hacked on October 5. The "Lego Coin" token appeared on the toy manufacturer's homepage for about 75 minutes before being deleted.
Lego reportedly told Engadget, a consumer technology platform, that the cryptocurrency scam had only appeared "briefly" on its homepage and that no user accounts had been compromised: "The issue has been resolved. No user accounts have been compromised and customers can shop as usual." "The cause has been identified and we are taking steps to prevent this from happening again."
