Rainbow Six Siege is under siege by hackers, Ubisoft forced to take all servers offline — players randomly received billions of credits, ultra-exclusive skins, and bans or unbans

Rainbow Six Siege.

Ubisoft has been forced to take all Rainbow Six Siege servers offline after the game was hacked by unknown entities. The company confirmed on X at around 9:10 AM EST on Saturday, December 27, that there was an incident with the title, with its Service Status page reporting an Unplanned Outage across all platforms as of the time of writing. While the company is yet to acknowledge what caused the disruption, there have been numerous reports of players receiving 2 billion R6 credits and Renown, as well as developer-only skins and Glaciers — one of the rarest weapon skins in the game. There have also been claims of random bans and unbans, affecting everyone from ordinary players to high-profile and streamer accounts.
