Lego marketplace BrickLink in pieces after 'unusual activity' takes it offline for almost a week

The company initially described the outage as "necessary work" and said the site would return on November 9. That deadline has come and gone. Visiting BrickLink's domain automatically serves the platform's maintenance page, which was last updated on November 11.

"We took BrickLink offline after identifying unusual activity on the platform," the website states. "Our immediate priority was to secure the site, protect our members and ensure the integrity of BrickLink. "Before bringing the site back online, we need to fully understand what has happened.

That means containing the issue, investigating how it happened and checking for related issues. "This work is still ongoing and we appreciate your patience while we work to get things back online as soon as possible."
