Rainbow Six Siege hacked again: Unexplained bans raising

Ubisoft’s long-running tactical shooter Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is facing widespread service disruptions today, with players across multiple regions reporting major access issues. Log-in failures, matchmaking problems, and unstable online services have been observed on all platforms, quickly pushing the game into the spotlight for the wrong reasons.

As the situation unfolded, reports from players and streamers began suggesting that the outage may not be a routine technical failure. According to community accounts, unusual in-game actions were detected, including unexpected moderation penalties applied to active accounts. Several players claim they received long-term “harassment” bans despite no recent violations, raising concerns about abnormal system behavior.

The most striking claim circulating online is the appearance of 67-day bans being issued to players and content creators, allegedly without manual review. The fact that high-profile streamer accounts were among those affected has fueled speculation that internal tools may have been accessed or manipulated without authorization. At this stage, these claims remain unverified.

Ubisoft has not yet released an official statement addressing the cause of the outage or the reported bans. The company’s service status channels currently list general connectivity and authentication issues, but provide no further clarification on whether a security breach is being investigated.

So what really happened behind the scenes, and were these bans the result of a system failure or something far more serious? Until Ubisoft provides clear answers, players can only wait and watch how the situation unfolds.
