LEGO's BrickLink marketplace taken offline due to unusual activity, no confirmed data breach yet
LEGO has temporarily taken its BrickLink marketplace offline after detecting unusual activity on the platform. The company has not confirmed any system hack or data compromise and is investigating the incident thoroughly before restoring service. BrickLink users have experienced access issues since early November, including inability to access storefronts, profiles, and order histories. Past incidents include a credential stuffing attack in 2023 leading to a temporary shutdown. While one customer reported suspicious repeated payment requests, LEGO found no evidence of widespread payment issues. Users are advised to watch for phishing attempts, verify requests independently, and use unique passwords. No confirmed data breach has been announced, making this a medium priority for defenders as the investigation continues.
