Ubisoft wins $150,000 lawsuit against Rainbow Six Siege DDoS operation

[Animous]

In January 2020, Ubisoft filed a lawsuit against the operators of SNG.one, a website that allegedly offered to provide DDoS attacks against online games including Rainbow Six Siege. In a default judgment rendered earlier this month, the US District Court for the Central District of California found in Ubisoft's favor and awarded it more than $153,000.

Prior to the lawsuit, the SNG.one website advertised itself as a service for testing firewalls against attack. But Ubisoft alleged that its operators also offered services through other websites, including r6s.support, which specifically targeted Rainbow Six Siege for DDoS attacks. It also claimed when the lawsuit was filed, the defendants "hastily sought to conceal evidence concerning their involvement," including by posting a fake notice on one of their websites claiming that the domain had been seized by Microsoft and Ubisoft.

Now the seizure is real. Ubisoft filed for a default judgment in February after the defendants failed to respond to the suit, according to a Dot Esports report, and earlier this month that request was granted: For their troubles, Benjamin Ruesnik, Dennis Kruk, and Roland-Daniel Soos were ordered to pay a total of $153,094.04 to Ubisoft.
