LEGO Shop Gets Briefly Hijacked by Crypto Scam

Quick Summary:

Users began posting about the banner and suspected a hack, which eventually drew the attention of the LEGO Group.

Despite what LEGO said, it probably wouldn’t hurt Shop users to treat this like they would a regular security breach at any website and change their passwords just in case.

At time of writing, there haven’t been any other attempts to bring back the banner or push the LEGO Coin through a different channel, and the original banner for LEGO Fortnite is back in that top spot.
