The scam directed users to the Uniswap platform, where they could purchase the fake LEGO tokens with Ethereum.
LEGO confirmed that no user accounts were compromised and normal shopping activities resumed shortly after the incident.
The company is implementing measures to prevent future breaches, though details of how access was gained remain undisclosed.
