LEGO Targeted in 75-Minute Crypto Scam—Stay Safe in the Wild West of Crypto!

The toy manufacturer LEGO Group was a target of a hack perpetrated to steal from their customers with a scam coin promotion promissing amazing rewards for the ones owning the "fraudulent" coin.

The "scam coin" took 75 minutes to get spotted and taken down and the first to notice that something was wrong was a X user, who is also a Lego fan, and alerted the company and users. Accordingly to the company, no user account were compromised in the attack and the target from the criminals was just to promote their scam LEGO coin and steal as much they could.

It's fair to suppose that thousands of people saw the promotion scam and bought the token, after all, LEGO is a worldwide known brand and people lured to grab some rewards holding the scam coin, rushed to acquire it. The company doesn't disclose if someone come to light to tell them they lost money but all the proceedings are being taken care to avoid that anymore situations like this doesn't happen in future.

Hackers are getting bold and innovative so, I am not surprised to see them attacking LEGO or any other popular worldwide company as they want those ones to reach their intents in much faster time and retire themselves early. People get knocked on this, I am pretty sure about it and all those 75 minutes in the air are enough to hackers to get what they wanted from the LEGO customers.

In this wild wild west of crypto is necessary to pay attention to signals that doesn't seem correct like the one happened on LEGO. Companies like this have their own socials to communicate promotions like this and never is something abrupt on their main page. Stay safe and get protected, things on the crypto industry are wild and hot. Remember:

CONTENT IS KING!
