Phishing Attack Targets LEGO Fans with Fake LEGO Coin Ad

As the Web3 industry develops and gains popularity, scammers quickly realize they don't need to invent something new to succeed. Often, it's enough to use a well-known name and add a phishing link — a web address leading to a fake website designed to steal personal data, like passwords, usernames, or financial information. At first glance, such a site may look natural, but its primary goal is to deceive users and gain access to their confidential data.

Coinmooner wants to highlight this situation in today's article. We will discuss how scammers hacked the LEGO website and posted an ad for a fake token, LEGO Coin, aiming to steal cryptocurrency. The phishing link was quickly discovered, and the ad was promptly removed, preventing any harm. The incident was successfully resolved.

It is known that at the beginning of October, an ad for the LEGO Coin token appeared on the LEGO website, claiming that buyers would receive certain rewards. However, the ad included a link to a fraudulent site, and the scam was soon exposed.

LEGO Fan ZTBricks Stops Potential Crypto Scam on Hacked LEGO Website

Coinmooner has tried to gather as much information as possible for this article to share with our readers. As it became known, a well-known LEGO fan under the alias ZTBricks quickly noticed the problem: right after the suspicious link appeared on the site, he tagged the LEGO team in his message, informing them that their site had been hacked and the main page altered.

About 75 minutes later, LEGO staff removed the digital asset ad and assured users that the issue had been resolved. They said no one was harmed, and visitors can safely use the site without worrying about their cryptocurrency assets.

LEGO Coin was reportedly created on the BNB Smart Chain blockchain with a total supply of 100 trillion tokens. However, the project team did not confirm the circulation of these assets, and they were not listed on cryptocurrency exchanges, so the token's price remains unknown.

This case once again proves that large organizations must monitor the security of their platforms around the clock and respond promptly to such incidents to protect their clients' data and funds. In this instance, the LEGO team reacted quickly, which deserves praise. With this in mind, Coinmooner wants to remind everyone of the importance of using advanced security methods in the Web3 industry to safeguard your data and assets.
