Bricklink is currently under maintenance, and Jay’s Brick Blog reports that it may be because of a suspected hacking or cybersecurity incident.
Bricklink’s maintenance message doesn’t make things sound great. “We are currently investigating some unusual activity, so it’s too early to speculate further. We will share more information once it’s available.”
We’ve reached out to a Bricklink customer support email to try and learn more.
Blizzard released a new trailer at BlizzCon showing some of what you can expect from World of Warcraft: The War Within, the game’s next expansion. It’s set to launch in 2024.
In a presentation that felt something like Marvel announcing its next phase of movies and TV shows, Warcraft executive creative director Chris Metzen announced World of Warcraft’s next three expansions at BlizzCon. They’re part of what he called the “Worldsoul Saga”: The War Within, Midnight, and The Last Titan. The saga kicks off in 2024.
Warcraft Rumble looks a lot like, well, a mobile game, but it seems to be fairly robust, with PvE and PvP modes. Blizzard announced at BlizzCon that the game is officially live, and you can get it on the App Store and on Google Play.
It adds two new regions to the game and a new class. The expansion is set to arrive in late 2024, but Blizzard plans to share more details this summer. You can get a brief but vague glimpse in Blizzard’s teaser trailer it revealed at BlizzCon.
Mauga is a new tank joining with Overwatch 2’s 8th season. Blizzard revealed his debut trailer at BlizzCon.
The Xbox (and now-fully-acquired Activision Blizzard) boss is onstage as part of the opening ceremony for BlizzCon. He name-dropped StarCraft!
Now, you can publish them without a Facebook review. Facebook won’t organically surface those games, which will be available as part of the app’s “Play Lab” tier, but the reduced friction could make it easier to get early feedback on a game that may not be ready for a full launch just yet.

In a Friday news dump blog post, Okta chief security officer David Bradbury revealed that a threat actor had access to files for 134 customers. Stolen session tokens from support logs were used to hijack sessions for 5 Okta customers, of which three have been publicly identified: 1Password (which first alerted Okta of the problem), BeyondTrust, and Cloudflare.
For a period of 14 days, while actively investigating, Okta did not identify suspicious downloads in our logs. When a user opens and views files attached to a support case, a specific log event type and ID is generated tied to that file. If a user instead navigates directly to the Files tab in the customer support system, as the threat actor did in this attack, they will instead generate an entirely different log event with a different record ID.
Not a great look for an identity management company that is supposed to prevent this exact problem.
