Ubisoft shuts down ‘Rainbow Six Siege’ servers following hack

Yesterday, Ubisoft confirmed that Rainbow Six Siege had been compromised and that it had shut down the game’s servers and marketplace while it resolved the issue. The hackers managed to gain control over a significant chunk of the game’s systems, including the ability to ban and unban users, sending custom messages to ban ticker, unlocking all in-game items, and granting every player 2 billion R6 Credits and Renown.

Ubisoft sells R6 credits in its store, pricing 15,000 of them at $99.99. That means the actual cash value of 2 billion R6 credits is about $13.33 million.

Ubisoft made it clear that nobody would be punished for spending any credits they received. But, any transactions made after 11:ooAM UTC on Saturday (6AM ET) will be rolled back to avoid abuse. At the time of this writing, service had yet to be restored. We’ve reached out to Ubisoft for comment and will update if and when they respond.
