Rainbow Six Siege Players Hit With 67-Day Ban After Another Apparent Hack

"According to The Gamer, Ubisoft's tactical shooter is being hacked by some unknown force that's handing out bans for 67 days. Players are reportedly posting on social media that their accounts have been flagged for an unexplained " harassment offence," leading to their accounts being suspended from matchmaking. Content creator VarsityGaming, who's been memeing the hack since it happened on January 4, corroborated the 67-day ban on their social media, suggesting that Siege may be down for two more days."

"While 67 days seems like an absurd amount of time--and in the case of VarsityGaming, it was " 67676767 days"--the number is really a reference to the 6-7 meme. Originating in March 2025 in part by rapper Skrilla (and their December 2024 song "Doot Doot (6 7)") and point guard LaMelo Ball (who's six-feet-seven-inches tall), the two numbers together went viral on social media largely thanks to someone named Maverick Trevillian, who became known as the "67 Kid." An absurdist"

A hack is triggering unexplained 67-day bans on Rainbow Six Siege accounts, citing a "harassment offence" and preventing affected players from matchmaking. Players report ban timers showing '67' or exaggerated values like '67676767' days. Content creator VarsityGaming posted about the ban and noted continued matchmaking access despite the restriction. Ubisoft's status page lists unplanned issues across platforms, impacting connectivity, the in-game store, and matchmaking, and states that investigations are underway. The 67 figure references the viral 6-7 meme, which rose in March 2025 through rapper Skrilla's song "Doot Doot (6 7)" and amplification tied to LaMelo Ball and Maverick Trevillian.
