A handful of players recently found themselves with an unexpected digital windfall.
Chaos erupted within the competitive ecosystem of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege over the weekend. Upon logging in, numerous players were stunned to discover billions in both premium and standard in-game currency credited to their accounts.
Alongside this sudden wealth, reports began to surface regarding a wave of peculiar account suspensions.
Observant users noticed that the system was banning players with highly unusual nicknames, such as “We stopping this for now. have a nice night everyone at Ubisoft!”
The community widely believes that hackers successfully breached the Rainbow Six Siege servers. This intrusion likely granted them access to developer-level administrative tools, enabling them to rewrite player identities and manipulate economy balances at will.
In response to the breach, the development team quickly took the servers offline to investigate the security lapse and rectify the situation.
