LEGO Shop Hack: What You Need to Know

Ever visited a website and thought, “Something’s not right here”? That might have been the case for some LEGO fans this weekend. A mysterious banner popped up on the LEGO Shop claiming that the toy giant was diving into the world of cryptocurrency with something called "LEGO Coin. " But don't be fooled—it was all a scam! The banner, filled with gold coins, appeared out of nowhere and led users to an external site selling something called "Lego Tokens" using Ethereum. This isn't the first time crypto scams have hit the headlines lately, thanks in part to AI deepfakes making it harder to spot what’s real and what’s not. So how did this happen? LEGO isn’t sharing the details, but they did confirm that the issue was fixed quickly. They also made sure to tell everyone that no accounts were hacked or compromised during the incident. Still, it’s always a good idea to treat these situations like any other security breach—change your passwords just in case!
