Ubisoft Begins Rollback and Phased Restoration After Rainbow Six Siege Breach Forces Shutdown

The company is reversing post‑incident activity and running integrity checks to stabilize accounts and the in‑game economy following unauthorized currency grants and system manipulation.

Overview

  • Ubisoft took Rainbow Six Siege and its Marketplace offline after attackers manipulated live systems, granting around 2 billion R6 Credits per account, unlocking developer‑only skins, and spoofing the ban feed.
  • The publisher said no players will be banned for spending the credits received during the incident and is rolling back all transactions from 11:00 UTC on Dec. 27.
  • Ubisoft says extensive quality‑control tests are underway to ensure account integrity, with timing for full restoration not guaranteed as services return in phases.
  • The Marketplace remains closed until further notice and some legitimate purchases may temporarily disappear during the rollback, with corrections expected over the coming weeks.
  • Reports of a wider Ubisoft infrastructure breach, including possible MongoDB exploitation and source code or user data theft, remain unverified as the company continues its investigation.
