LEGO Australia Acknowledges Security Breach
1,591 LEGO Club members’ names, addresses, dates of birth and phone numbers may
have been exposed.
By Jeff Goldman, May 28, 2012
LEGO Australia recently sent letters to 1,591 parents whose children joined the
LEGO Club Web site between March 27 and May 5, warning them that their personal
information had not been secured.
Data that may have been exposed included members’ names, addresses, dates of
birth and phone numbers.
“Please note that no fraudulent activity has been reported to us, and there is
no evidence of suspicious activity using your information,” the letter states.
“This is just to notify you, in case you discover your information being used by
a party that is not the LEGO Club, so that you can take appropriate action and
to prevent any future potential misuse of personal information.”
“In an interview Caroline Squire, LEGO Australia and New Zealand director of
Marketing, said credit card information was also not secured correctly for the
1,182 parents who signed their children up during the period its website wasn’t
secure,” writes The Sydney Morning Herald’s Ben Grubb. “The 409 other parents
who were also sent letters were those with incomplete registrations who did not
enter their credit card but did enter their address. Squire said the LEGO Club
website lacked SSL encryption (the golden lock usually seen on banking and
e-commerce websites) for the March 27 to May 5 period after an update to the
website caused the SSL certificate to be incorrectly configured, meaning
transactions during the period were not encrypted.”
“The bungle was due to ‘human error,’ the company told affected customers
earlier this month,” SC Magazine Australia reports. “Unencrypted traffic was at
risk of interception.”
The company says it has notified the Office of the Australian Information
Commissioner of the breach, and has “taken measures to ensure the security of
the site for current member information and for future transactions.”

LEGO film to be made in Australia by Animal Logic
TRANSFORMERS transformed the Hasbro toy line into a blockbuster cinema
franchise, now LEGO is hoping to do something similar with their iconic building
blocks - and the film is to be made in Sydney.
The Fox Studios-based digital effects company Animal Logic (Happy Feet, Legend
of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole) is producing the LEGO family comedy for
Warner Bros.
Announcing the project today, acting NSW Premier and Minister for Trade and
Investment Andrew Stoner said the state government had helped secure the LEGO
film against strong competition from the US and Canada.
“LEGO will be an innovative film incorporating the latest animation and
photo-real techniques which will demonstrate the strength of NSW creative
technology skills and enhance the international reputation of Sydney as a film
location,‘’ he said.
It is estimated that the production will contribute $48 million to the local
economy and employ more than 200 people at its peak.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the team behind the 3D animated comedy Cloudy with a
Chance of Meatballs (2009), will direct the film.
