"Now, barely a week later, a new attack is seeing players reporting their accounts are being banned under the category of "Harassment Offense," with the bans lasting a hilarious 67 days. This became much more widely known once high-profile streamer VarsityGaming found out he was a target of the meme-driven ban during a recent broadcast."
"At the time of writing Ubisoft has not posted to any of its social media accounts to acknowledge the issue on this occasion, despite seemingly being aware of the incident since Sunday, January 4. In fact, the official X account hasn't been updated since December 29, when it posted to say queue times were reducing following issues after the previous rollback. There has also been no word from Ubisoft regarding the last attack and the current state of the Marketplace."
"On December 27, hackers got into Rainbow 6 Siege and caused all manner of mischief, primarily distributing vast amounts of in-game money, super-expensive items and weapon skins, forcing the game offline as the servers were rolled back to before the attack. At the same time, the game's Marketplace was taken offline while the team investigated what had gone wrong."
Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege experienced a fresh security incident days after recovering from a major hack. Hackers are issuing illegitimate 67-day bans labeled 'Harassment Offense' and many players report their accounts affected, including streamer VarsityGaming. The December 27 breach distributed vast quantities of in-game currency, expensive items and weapon skins, forcing a server rollback and Marketplace shutdown. Ubisoft has not updated the game's official X account since December 29 and has not publicly acknowledged the new ban wave despite apparent awareness since January 4. Rainbow Six Siege services are offline again while investigations continue.
