Rainbow Six Siege is dealing with another security crisis. Players across the game are reporting sudden 67-day bans that appeared without warning or explanation.
The bans hit accounts that hadn’t violated any rules. Standard Rainbow Six Siege suspensions typically come in cleaner increments like 24 hours or full weeks. A 67-day ban isn’t part of the game’s normal sanction playbook. The oddly specific duration seems linked to the “six seven” meme, and could hint at a hack rather than a legitimate ban.
This marks the second major disruption in recent weeks. Earlier this month, players logged in to find their accounts flooded with premium currency and credits they never purchased. The phantom funds disappeared just as quickly when Ubisoft rolled back affected accounts.
That rollback created its own mess. Ubisoft reverted transactions across the board, which meant some legitimate purchases made during the affected window got wiped too. Players who bought cosmetics or season passes with real money found those items temporarily gone from their inventories.
The issue forced Ubisoft to take the game’s marketplace offline during the holiday period. For a live service game, that’s a major disruption. Players couldn’t access the store, trade items, or manage their inventories while the company worked to contain the damage.
What this means for players
The situation has players worried about their account security. If someone can manipulate ban systems and currency balances, what else might be compromised? Some are asking whether they should change their Ubisoft passwords.
Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed whether account credentials are at risk. The company has been working to reverse the incorrect bans and restore affected accounts.
