Ubisoft has temporarily shut down the servers for Rainbow Six Siege following a major security breach that saw hackers distribute 2 billion R6 credits to all players. The incident, confirmed on December 27th, led to the suspension of online services and the trading market as the company worked to address the exploit. Players reported receiving massive amounts of in-game currency and rare items, with hackers allegedly controlling key game systems, including messaging and banning functions. The breach, which would have cost players approximately $13.33 million to legitimately acquire the distributed credits, prompted Ubisoft to announce a rollback of R6 points earned after 11 AM UTC on December 28th. The game is currently undergoing testing with a limited player base as Ubisoft prepares for a relaunch.
