- Rainbow Six: Siege Hackers Are Being Sued By Ubisoft After
Selling Cheats - Ubisoft has sued the company MizuSoft due to
selling cheats for a profit. These cheats are specifically in regard to
their popular competitive multiplayer shooter Rainbow Six: Siege.
Ubisoft filed the lawsuit on October 23 earlier this week. In the official
court document, the video game company is suing MizuSoft for "creating, selling, distributing, maintaining, servicing,
supporting, and updating malicious software
products that are specifically designed to (and have no other purpose but to) enable their users to cheat
at R6S, at the expense of Ubisoft and
its legitimate customers." The lawsuit is being based
on three different counts including trafficking in circumvention
devices, international interference with contractual relations, and
unfair competition. MizuSoft, previously known as
CheapBoost, speaks openly as "a company that focuses on
creating easy to use and undetected cheating software." As of writing, their
official website is shut down as they have apparently ceased
operations. The document states that MizuSoft originally sold only one
product known as the "Budget Edition Rainbow Six: Siege Cheat." Instead
of a one time purchase, the cheat is actually a subscription service
that reflects the prices of approximately $13 per day, $33 per week, or
$77 per month. Once subscribed, players would be able to change several
parameters in the game such as "increasing the damage inflicted by the
player, changing the player’s perspective, and allowing the player to
see areas of the battlefield that otherwise would be obscured." The
owner of MizuSoft is a minor who is named under the s J.V.L. for the
lawsuit. The money given to the company was channeled through their
mother’s (Sandra Rijken) website design business known as Simpy San
WebDesign where Ubisoft states that they are informed and believes Rijken,
including through her company, is responsible for collecting,
processing,and transmitting to one or more
of the other Defendants payments made byMizuSoft’s
customers for the Cheating Software. The Netherlands based
business as of now seems to be permanently closed. Ubisoft is
additionally suing ten other defendants and is seeking maximum damages
of $25,000 per violation.
