Rainbow Six Siege Hit by Hack Flooding Accounts with Credits

Ubisoft's popular tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege suffered a significant security breach on December 27, 2025, when hackers infiltrated the game's servers and flooded player accounts with billions of premium R6 Credits, along with exclusive developer skins and other rare items. The incident, which affected players across PC and console platforms worldwide, prompted the company to immediately take the servers and in-game marketplace offline for an ongoing investigation.

The breach unfolded rapidly during live gameplay sessions. Players logging in reported their accounts suddenly credited with enormous sums of R6 Credits, ranging from billions to trillions, as well as unearned Renown, Alpha Packs, and cosmetics like the developer-only Glacier skin. Some accounts received every available skin in the game, while others faced abrupt bans without clear cause. These bans, which included mocking messages directed at Ubisoft's leadership, suggested hackers had accessed administrator-level tools within the game's management systems. In some cases, bans were quickly reversed, adding to the confusion and halting ranked matches, casual play, and marketplace transactions.
