LEGO's BrickLink marketplace restored after week-long cyber incident outage
LEGO's BrickLink marketplace went offline on November 5 after a cyber incident in which an unauthorized party accessed some user data, including usernames and IP addresses, and remained down until November 12. LEGO said passwords, postal addresses, and financial information were not disclosed, though some users have since reported receiving detailed phishing emails. The outage hit during the holiday shopping season and significantly reduced sales for independent sellers who depend on the platform.
