The French company denounces the alleged authors and presents a capture in which the servers of different games appear as objectives.
Ubisoft has denounced a website that sold plans to test the strength of its clients' servers, Polygon publishes. However, the French company has shared a capture in which it can be seen that the defendants had Rainbox Six Siege as one of their main targets of DDoS attacks. It is not the only title that was among the objectives. Judging by the lawsuit, other multiplayer games had been pointed out: “The servers of popular multiplayer video games such as Fortnite, FIFA 20 or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 are also listed as possible targets,” they say on page 13.
The complaint, which was filed in the courts of California recently, names several defendants and the owners of the website, who say they were "aware of the damage" that their services could cause. "The defendants have tried to make fun of Ubisoft for the damage their services have caused (Rainbox Six Siege)."
An excerpt from the lawsuit filed by Ubisoft.
A group of "unscrupulous" hackers
The Assassin's Creed company has recalled that in order to maintain the community of players, they have been forced to “invest considerable time, money and effort”, all so that their users can enjoy a “positive, fun and rewarding” experience every time they play Rainbow Six Siege. "Through this complaint, Ubisoft seeks to stop a commercial group of unscrupulous hackers" who are dedicated "to damage the games of Ubisoft", as they consider that "destroy the player experience" with the sole interest of profiting economically.
Ubisoft considers it proven that the alleged attackers are members of a business structure that provides its clients with tools to carry out attacks directed against Rainbox Six Siege. "The defendants have offered DDoS services through various domains, websites and anonymous nicks," they said in writing. "Even when DDoS attacks do not completely destroy the games in progress, they can, and usually do, prevent the normal functioning of the game, which includes causing serious degradation of the game experience of innocent players."
The French have also confirmed a change in the structure of their editorial group, a team that watches over the coordination of all the company's studies.
