Ubisoft Suspends Rainbow Six Siege Following 2 Billion In-Game Credit Hack
Ubisoft halted live services for Rainbow Six Siege after hackers flooded player accounts with 2 billion R6 credits—equivalent to roughly $13.3 million—alongside rare skins and weapons. The breach, which began on December 27, compromised servers, marketplaces, and internal moderation tools, prompting an emergency rollback.
The company confirmed the incident and initiated system-wide testing with a limited player group before relaunching. Social media posts revealed hackers manipulated messaging and banning systems, escalating concerns over security vulnerabilities in gaming economies.
