Developers have issued a warning that those who accessed the game after December 27th at 19:49 UTC might temporarily lose access to their accounts. This measure is part of Ubisoft’s efforts to rectify the unintended distribution of in-game rewards that occurred during the hack.

The hacking incident, which unfolded yesterday morning, was particularly alarming as it granted hackers unprecedented access to the game’s backend systems. Reports indicated that the attackers wielded the power to ban and unban players at will, as well as distribute unlimited in-game credits and exclusive skins. Some players reported receiving staggering amounts of in-game currency—up to two billion R6 credits—along with rare skins typically reserved for developers.
