Ubisoft Restores Rainbow Six Siege After Hack Flooded Accounts With Billions in Credits

The Marketplace remains offline pending a review of how attackers hijacked backend tools.

Overview

  • Servers reopened Sunday evening after extensive quality testing, and Ubisoft says the transaction rollback is complete.
  • Ubisoft will not penalize players who spent the windfall; all transactions after 11:00 UTC on Dec. 27 are being reversed, with some legitimate items temporarily affected as fixes roll out over the next two weeks.
  • Players reported about 2 billion R6 Credits and Renown added to accounts, developer-only cosmetics unlocked, and spoofed ban ticker messages during the breach.
  • The in-game Marketplace stays closed as investigations continue, and status pages may still show outages while services stabilize.
  • Security groups allege a broader Ubisoft compromise involving a MongoDB flaw and possible theft of source code or user data, but those claims are unverified.
