Rainbow Six Siege servers are again after hackers randomly doled out bans, unbans, uncommon skins and 'billions' in in-game foreign money
On December 27, the official Rainbow Six Siege account posted on X that it was “conscious of an incident” affecting the sport, however that kind of undersells it. Hackers went berserk in Siege over the weekend, and gamers reported a spread of anomalies: receipt of billions of credit and ultra-rare or developer-only skins, and chaotic bans and unbans, together with cheeky messages despatched by way of the worldwide ban ticker. (As an illustration, the lyrics to Shaggy’s “It Wasn’t Me.”)
It additionally clarified that the sudden inflow of bans was a part of the breach and that “any messages seen” by way of the ban ticker weren’t Ubisoft’s doing, which I believe was by no means in query on condition that one in every of them learn “Yves Guillemot was within the epstein recordsdata.”
The extent to which the sport and any customers had been compromised is unclear, however the recreation is again up as of final night time, December 28, however the in-game market continues to be down. A report by Bleeping Pc goes over quite a few “unverified claims” by way of VX-Underground from numerous hacker teams all attempting to take credit score for the havoc.
Gamers had been, understandably, perplexed by all of this. Threads popped up everywhere in the Rainbow Six subreddit warning gamers to not spend any ill-gotten credit, although as talked about above, all transactions are being met with a rollback. Gamers shared memes concerning the incident and vented their frustrations in all kinds of posts, with person Grouchy_Ad9470 commenting, “Did not know that I might miss this shitty recreation a lot lol.”
