For the second time this month, Rainbow Six Siege X appears to have been hacked again. Hackers have taken control of the game and have been banning players online for 67 days, referencing the popular “six-seven” meme. Several players have reported being banned unfairly, with the issue affecting both the PC and console versions of the game. Both versions have also been experiencing outages and degraded connectivity across their online services. Ubisoft has yet to make any public statements regarding the hacks and bans.
Last month, Ubisoft was affected by a significant data breach. While the company has not officially confirmed the identity of those responsible, rumors suggest the attack was carried out via MongoDB using a security exploit known as “MongoBleed.” The breach allegedly targeted Rainbow Six Siege and its backend systems on December 27. Following the incident, players reported widespread bans and unbans, while others claimed to have received billions of R6 Credits and Renown, as well as access to developer-only skins and Glacier cosmetics. In response, Ubisoft took all Rainbow Six Siege servers offline and advised players to remain offline to avoid potential issues related to the breach.
