Lego's BrickLink Marketplace Offline Following Unusual Activity
Lego has taken its BrickLink marketplace offline following the detection of 'unusual activity' on the platform. The site has been inaccessible since November 5, and despite previous estimates suggesting a return by November 11, Lego stated there is currently no timeline for when services will be restored. The company emphasized that its immediate priority is securing the site and protecting member integrity. While specific details regarding the nature of the activity have not been disclosed, the incident mirrors a cybersecurity event from three years ago involving a ransom demand. Lego is currently investigating the cause to ensure all related issues are contained before bringing the marketplace back online.
