Rainbow Six Siege X Hacked – Everything we Know

Reports on December 27th that Rainbow Six Siege X had been hacked by an unknown group looked to be true when players started getting banned or receiving huge sums of R6 Credits into their accounts. The news came out fast, but we know a fair bit already.

After an initial response from Ubisoft that the servers were having issues, many players started to notice that it might be a lot more serious.

This story is being updated as we get more information about the situation from the community or Ubisoft.

After initial reports of server issues in Rainbow Six Siege X, it later turned out that more was happening behind the scenes.

The first response from Ubisoft came an hour after the initial reports and read as follows:

“We’re aware of an incident currently affecting Rainbow Six Siege. Our teams are working on a resolution. We will share further updates once available.”

Just after this message went out, Ubisoft shut down the Rainbow Six Siege X marketplace, a temporary fix to stop players from using the store to buy things with the hacked R6 currency. Other players reported having received skins, Alpha packs, other currencies and more when they logged in. Advice from the community has been just to not log in until Ubisoft says the situation is resolved.

As shown in the Tweet above, players are seeing massive waves of currency placed into their accounts. Though Ubisoft will likely undo them, abusing this could result in a ban. In fact, some players are already reporting that they’ve been banned. It’s unknown if this is due to the hack or a result of them spending currency they are not supposed to have.

We’ve had no other updates from Ubisoft, though Hotspawn has reached out for more information.
