Rainbow Six Siege got completely owned by hackers. Ubisoft took all servers offline after an apparent massive breach, with reports of players receiving two billion R6 credits and Renown, rare developer skins, and the ultra-rare Glacier weapon skin. The company's service page shows an unplanned outage across every platform, but they have not explained the cause. Players are seeing random bans and unbans, even affecting popular streamer accounts.
This looks like a serious backend takeover, not just a simple hack. Ubisoft has advised everyone to stay off the game entirely while they try to regain control. They have stayed mostly silent, likely because they are still assessing the damage. Security experts suggest anyone with a Ubisoft account, especially linked to Siege, should change their passwords immediately as a precaution. This level of in-game chaos, with hackers freely distributing currency and items, is a rare and brazen attack, reminiscent of major network breaches from over a decade ago.
