Rainbow Six Siege has reportedly been hacked again. This time, hackers are banning players and writing custom messages inside the game.

Rainbow Six Siege has reportedly been hacked for the third time in less than two weeks, and the situation appears to be getting worse. Hackers are now able to ban players directly and even display custom messages in-game, raising serious concerns about server security and account safety.

The first major incident happened on December 27. At that time, players began reporting strange activity across Rainbow Six Siege. Some users suddenly received huge amounts of R6 credits, while others unlocked rare or premium skins without purchasing them. 

Just days later, the game was hit again. Yesterday, January 4, new reports surfaced of hackers abusing the system in a much more aggressive way. This time, players were being banned for 67 days, a number that many believe was chosen as a reference to the “6-7 meme.” What made the situation worse was that these bans were issued under the category of Harassment Offense, and even VarsityGaming, a popular streamer, received it during a recent broadcast.

Now, the situation has escalated even further, as Rainbow Six Siege has been hacked for the third time. Hackers are once again banning players, but they now seem to have even deeper access to the game, as they can display custom messages on in-game objects. Screenshots shared by affected players show messages like “Kudos smells! – Snuffles” and “UwU or Meow to play the game.” 

As of now, Ubisoft has not released an official statement addressing this latest incident. There is no confirmation on how the breach happened or what steps are being taken to stop it. Rainbow Six Siege servers also appear to be offline across all platforms, so you might experience issues when trying to enter a match.
