Hackers Hand Out Billions Of In-Game Cash In Rainbow 6 Siege
"The incident was an apparent attack on the R6 servers that saw not only billions of in-game money distributed among players, but also super-rare weapon skins landing in some people's lockers, Renown being handed out like candy, and Alpha Packs showing up in inventories as well. At the same time, some players reported having their in-game finances entirely wiped out."
"When Ubisoft finally updated its X account, it was to make clear this was not true. "Nobody will be banned for spending credits received," said the post, noting "any messages seen were not triggered by us." But for those thinking Christmas had happened all over again added, "a rollback of all transactions that occurred since 11 AM (UTC time) is underway.""
Rainbow Six Siege servers were attacked over the weekend, resulting in billions of in-game credits being distributed to players and super-rare weapon skins, Renown, and Alpha Packs appearing in inventories. Some players reported having their in-game finances wiped out. Ubisoft intentionally shut down Siege and its Marketplace to address the issue and remained silent for several hours while rumors spread, including claims of stolen source code and imminent bans for players who spent the credits. Ubisoft clarified that no one would be banned for spending credits received and that messages suggesting bans were not triggered by Ubisoft. A rollback of all transactions since 11 AM UTC is underway.
