Rainbow Six Siege Hit by Second Apparent Breach, Triggering Fake 67-Day Bans and Service Outages

Official service alerts point to widespread outages following reports of spoofed '67-day' bans tied to the 6-7 meme.

Overview

  • Ubisoft’s status page lists unplanned issues for authentication, matchmaking, connectivity, and the in-game store across all platforms.
  • Streamer Chris “VarsityGaming” showed waves of sanction messages and a 67-day ban on stream yet could still enter queues, indicating the notices were not legitimate.
  • Security group vx-underground and multiple outlets corroborated cross-platform reports of identical '67' ban messages.
  • Ubisoft has not issued a direct public statement on the new incident beyond noting investigations on its service status page.
  • The renewed disruption follows the Dec. 27 breach that prompted rollbacks and a marketplace shutdown, with current reporting indicating a narrower impact that still points to unresolved server-side vulnerabilities.
