BrickLink, an online Lego parts marketplace owned by Lego, is back online after several days of downtime due to a cybersecurity incident that apparently targeted some merchant accounts. The company said it received a "threat and ransom demand", presumably in regard to company or user data, leading it to shut down the site "out of an abundance of caution."
