The big news today that everyone is talking about is the extended downtime that BrickLink has had the past week. Today they released a statement stating there was unusual activity on the site and that could mean hundreds of things. They are still investigating so they probably still haven’t gotten the issue resolved yet. The main speculation is that BrickLink may have been a victim of a cyberattack but there’s no confirmation of that. LEGO now owns BrickLink so it’s probably their IT people that are trying to get it back online.
Many users rely on BrickLink for income and the downtime this past week puts a damper on sales. Some have flocked over to BrickOwl or eBay to sell inventory in the meantime. There’s no work yet on when BrickLink will go back online.
