Rainbow Six Siege, the popular tactical shooter developed by Ubisoft, is facing one of the most unusual cyberattacks in its history. A major vulnerability targeting live servers has disrupted the game’s economy. Players are encountering an unexpected situation upon logging into their accounts. Attackers have infiltrated the system, adding billions of in-game currency to users’ balances while also unlocking locked content.

Billions of R6 Credits and Random Bans

Players on both PC and console platforms have revealed the extent of the chaos through screenshots shared on social media. Many users’ accounts have shown billions of R6 Credits, Fame points, and Alpha Packs. However, this virtual wealth has brought with it a major problem. Some players have reported that their accounts were banned immediately after logging in, even though they weren’t using any cheats. While some of these bans were lifted shortly afterward, the uncertainty has caused significant concern within the community.

The scope of the attack wasn’t limited to casual players. Popular streamers and even some official profiles linked to Ubisoft have reportedly been affected by this vulnerability. It’s still unclear how the attackers infiltrated the system’s backend and carried out such a massive data change. Players are concerned about the security of their accounts even if they haven’t used the credits allocated to them.

Following the escalation of the crisis, Ubisoft released an official statement. The company announced that they are aware of the incident and that teams are working on a solution. However, there is no clear information yet on whether the changes will be completely reversed or whether those who accessed the game during this period will be penalized. Experts recommend that players avoid logging into their accounts until the system is stable and follow official announcements.
