According to ChainThink, on December 29, Ubisoft suspended online services for Rainbow Six Siege following a hacker attack. The hacker distributed 2 billion in-game tokens (R6) to each player. Ubisoft previously sold 15,000 R6 tokens for $99.99, meaning players would need to spend approximately $13.3 million to obtain 2 billion R6 tokens, which can be used to purchase skins and rare weapons. The Rainbow Six Siege team announced it is working to revoke the abnormal R6 token distribution and has begun a rollback.
