BlockBeats News, December 29th, Ubisoft's "Rainbow Six Siege" online services were temporarily suspended due to a hacker intrusion. The hacker distributed 20 billion in-game token R6 to each player after the intrusion. Prior to this, Ubisoft sold 15,000 R6 for $99.99. Players would need to spend approximately $13.3 million to obtain 20 billion R6, which can be used to purchase rare items like skins and weapons.

The "Rainbow Six Siege" team announced that they are working to revoke the abnormal R6 token distribution in the game and have already begun the rollback process.
