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.
