Rainbow Six Siege servers have been hacked, resulting in users being randomly banned, unbanned, and receiving rare skins and in-game currency. The incident has left many players affected, with some reporting losses of 'billions' in in-game currency.

The hack, which occurred on December 29, 2025, saw hackers gaining access to the game's servers and manipulating user accounts. The affected players reported receiving unexpected bans, unbans, and rare skins, with some even receiving large amounts of in-game currency.

Ubisoft, the game's developer, has since taken steps to rectify the situation, with the servers being taken offline and then brought back online. Any transactions made with the sudden influx of credits have been rolled back.

The incident has left many players concerned about the security of their accounts and the potential for further hacks. Ubisoft has yet to comment on the incident, but players are advised to remain vigilant and monitor their accounts closely.

The hack is a reminder of the importance of maintaining strong security measures in online games. Players should be cautious when receiving unexpected in-game items or currency, and should report any suspicious activity to the game's developers.

Rainbow Six Siege is a popular tactical first-person shooter game developed by Ubisoft. The game has a large player base and is known for its competitive gameplay and realistic graphics.
