Ubisoft sues hackers for selling DDoS services.

Ubisoft has filed a lawsuit against a website allegedly selling DDoS services used against Rainbow Six Siege's servers.

The SNG.ONE website sells subscriptions for around €150 to €500, payable only in bitcoin, of course, although SNG.ONE currently advertises itself as a service that tests one's firewall against attacks, Ubiosft's lawsuit claims that its owner also operates r6s.support, which specifically targets Siege, and lists other potential targets that customers can choose from, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, FIFA 20, and Fortnite

The lawsuit also alleges that "knowing of the imminence of this litigation, Defendants hastily attempted to conceal evidence of their involvement and claimed that one of the websites they were using had a domain that, pursuant to a fictitious "Operation (D)oS OFF," was "Microsoft Inc. and Ubisoft Entertainment" and went so far as to create and publish a fictitious notice of seizure falsely stating that the domain had been seized by "Microsoft Inc. and Ubisoft Entertainment"

.

The lawsuit seeks damages, injunctive relief, and other equitable relief. The full text can be read at Polygon.
