Rainbow Six Siege is under siege by hackers, Ubisoft forced to take all servers offline — players randomly received billions of credits, ultra-exclusive skins, and bans or unbans

Ubisoft had to shut down all Rainbow Six Siege servers due to a hack that resulted in players receiving billions of in-game credits, exclusive skins, and bans or unbans. The breach caused chaos, prompting players to stay offline as it seemed to be a significant breach beyond a simple hack. Ubisoft has not provided details on the incident, leading to frustration among players. The extent of the damage is still unknown, but users are advised to update their passwords as a precaution. This hack is one of the first instances where an apparent breach has taken down an entire game, reminiscent of past major gaming hacks in 2011.
