    Lego’s site was hacked to promote fake crypto.

    An X post spotted by The Brick Fan flagged to the company yesterday that its online shop was displaying a “LEGO Coin” cryptocurrency banner.

    Naturally, there is no such thing; Lego tells Engadget that the situation was quickly resolved and no user data was compromised.

    X paid its fines to the wrong bank, says Brazil’s Supreme Court.

    On Friday, the social media company once again asked Brazil to lift its ban on X, saying it had paid the roughly $5 million in fines it owed from its tiff with the nation’s Supreme Court.

    But the court said that will have to wait until the money is transferred to the correct bank, reports Reuters.

    YouTube has almost reversed all the damage from a channel-deleting glitch.

    After a bug “incorrectly flagged” some channels for spam and removed them, YouTube started working on getting the channels back. That’s done, the Team YouTube X account posted — now it’s just working to get the last few videos reinstated.

    The US is investigating Fisker’s liquidation plan.

    In a filing yesterday spotted by TechCrunch, the US Securities and Exchange Commission objects to the company’s “use of an opt-out process to attempt to bind shareholders to a third-party release.” It also worries the plan doesn’t “adequately preserve” the SEC’s ability to investigate the company for securities violations.

    Fisker filed for bankruptcy in June after years of trying to best Tesla.

    X argued it shouldn’t owe a fine in Australia because it’s not Twitter.

    The company claimed that it’s not liable for failing to fully answer a notice asking how it handles child abuse imagery because Twitter “ceased to exist” after the notice was sent, as ArsTechnica writes.

    The judge didn’t buy the argument, though, so X still must pay a $610,500 AUD (about $414,100 USD) fine Australia issued last year.
