Rainbow Six Siege DDoS attackers will be banned permanently
Ban waves are coming for players who have been identified as the “worst offenders” behind the attacks, according to Ubisoft’s announcement. These bans will start next week and “continue as needed,” targeting offending players across both PCs and consoles. If you’re wondering how long these bans might be, Ubisoft has an answer: in response to a question about this on Reddit, the studio says “it’s a permanent ban.”
In the announcement, the developers also say they have “assessed our options” on legal action against the offenders, and will soon issue cease and desist notices to anyone hosting DDoS services.
In the meantime, Ubisoft is reducing server load in an effort to mitigate the effect of the attacks. Servers previously hosted three matches apiece, and will now only host one. Penalties for leaving matches early will also be temporarily disabled until legitimate players are no longer getting kicked from games.
The studio says it’s also updating its traffic monitoring efforts, and working with Microsoft’s cloud tech team to help figure out solutions.
DDoS attacks remain an unsolved issue, even for companies as prominent as Valve. There are steps developers can take to mitigate their effects, but nobody’s come up with a universal solution yet.

Wow I didn't even know this was happening on rainbow six siege. It's good to know that the support team won't put up with it and hopefully banning these user will make the game less toxic.
