Massive Rainbow Six Siege exploit floods players with billions of credits and ban waves
Rainbow Six Siege is undergoing significant disruption following a large-scale exploit impacting accounts across every major platform. Players reported logging in to find billions of R6 credits, thousands of alpha packs, and access to exclusive cosmetics, including developer and limited edition skins. These issues triggered widespread community warnings, with players across PC and console urged to stay offline due to continued reports of accounts receiving unauthorized credits and random bans.
While the incident unfolded, thousands of accounts, including those of streamers and high-profile users, were subject to ban waves and subsequent unbans. In response to these cascading problems, Ubisoft acknowledged the situation, confirmed that its teams were investigating, and temporarily shut down both the game and the in-game marketplace. The publisher also clarified that users would not be punished for interacting with credits received during the exploit.
As recovery efforts continue, Ubisoft has initiated a global rollback. The company stated that extensive quality control testing is underway to ensure the integrity of player data. Ubisoft emphasized that its team is working to restore full service and get players safely back into the game as soon as possible.

This is another example of a security vulnerability which nobody is allowed to understand (1, 2, and now this), especially since Ubisoft is anti-consumer with their "you own nothing and be happy" (1, 2, 3) intellectual property stage of capitalism inside their EULA (1, 2, 3).
Now, with an added attempt to burn the Library of Alexandria (1, 2, 3) as Ubisoft is anti-preservationist (1, 2, 3), typical of copyright extremists (1, 2, 3).
The aforementioned scandal is the justification of the Stop Killing Games campaign, and another proof that free software is more important, so play these instead.
Fully agree.
Yeah they keep trying to take down internet archive, I guess Free Information was not one of the points of the internet?
Hopefully the rumors about stolen source code and other stuff are true and it all gets published.
Okay, is this a hack or just a bug?
It was not specified by Ubisoft, but it was likely a hack. Here's the latest update from the Rainbow Six Siege X account.
So who did it? Is there even speculation?
