Scam cryptocurrency project advertised on LEGO website

A LEGO Coin (LEGO) token dedicated to a popular LEGO meme was issued by scammers to steal cryptocurrency.

On October 5, an advertisement for LEGO Coin appeared on the LEGO website, stating that buyers of the coins would receive some kind of reward. However, the ad included a link to a phishing portal, and the scam was quickly uncovered.

About 75 minutes later, LEGO employees removed the ad for the sale of digital assets and reported that the problem had been fixed.

Presumably, no one was harmed by the attackers, and people can continue to use the site without fear for their crypto savings.
