Rainbow Six Siege servers down again after second hack issues 67-day bans

Rainbow Six Siege faces a second hack just a week after last month's credit flood, with players hit by illegitimate 67-day 'harassment' bans referencing the viral 6-7 meme. Servers are offline across platforms as Ubisoft stays silent on the new outage.

Following the December 27, 2025, breach that distributed billions in unauthorized R6 credits and rare skins—prompting a server rollback and two-day outage—Rainbow Six Siege has been hit again. Around January 4, 2026, hackers issued mass 67-day bans labeled 'Harassment Offense,' a reference to the absurd '6-7' meme popularized in 2025 by rapper Skrilla's 'Doot Doot (6 7)' song, NBA player LaMelo Ball's height jokes, and social media personality Maverick Trevillian.

Prominent streamer VarsityGaming reported a ban for '67676767 days,' noting matchmaking still worked despite the notice. Ubisoft's status page lists 'unplanned issues' affecting connectivity, matchmaking, and the in-game store on all platforms. The official X account has been silent since December 29, mirroring delays from the prior incident and sparking rumors of source code theft on Reddit and X.

These back-to-back disruptions highlight persistent server vulnerabilities amid strong player engagement—142,000 concurrent Steam players on June 10, 2025, for the decade-old title, now rebranded Rainbow Six Siege X. Concerns grow over player data risks as Ubisoft investigates.

Bungie has acknowledged player requests for duo queue mode following the conclusion of the Marathon Server Slam. The event showcased strong gunplay and a mysterious in-game element, boosting the game to third on Steam's top sellers list. The full launch is set for March 5, 2026.

Josh Sobel, a former technical artist at Wildlight Entertainment, has reactivated his X account after deactivating it last month amid backlash from a post about Highguard's failure. He stands by the intent of his original comments but regrets the poor phrasing, attributing it to stress following the game's shutdown announcement. Highguard, a 3v3 live-service hero shooter, is set to go offline on March 12, 2026—45 days after its January 26 launch.
