Ubisoft Takes Rainbow Six Siege Offline After Breach, Orders Transaction Rollback With No Player Penalties

Unverified claims of wider Ubisoft systems access are under investigation.

Overview

  • Attackers abused backend tools to grant roughly 2 billion R6 Credits, unlock developer-only cosmetics, and manipulate the ban ticker, with reports of random bans and reversals.
  • Ubisoft intentionally shut down Rainbow Six Siege and its Marketplace while teams work to restore services, stating servers remain offline during the investigation.
  • The company will roll back all transactions made since 11:00 UTC and says players will not be punished for spending the illicit credits.
  • Ubisoft clarified that the ban-ticker messages circulating in screenshots were not generated by the company and that the ticker had already been disabled.
  • Security researchers circulated unverified reports of multiple threat groups and possible access to internal code and user data via a MongoDB flaw, which have not been independently confirmed.
