R6DB, an online service that provides statistics for Rainbow Six Siege players, went down over the weekend after an attacker wiped the company’s database and asked a ransom. The company said an automated bot accessed their server, wiped the database, and left a ransom note behind. Engineers are working to restore as much of the data as possible, but some of it may be lost for good. R6 DB is up and running, but engineers are still working on restoring player data. Hackers have been scanning the Internet for exposed databases, wiping their content, and leaving ransom notes behind.
