Ubisoft's recent hack has been quite outrageous. The $13.3 million worth of tokens were airdropped indiscriminately to players, and the hacker's approach is very clear—create liquidity chaos to prevent the platform from quickly freezing assets.



From an on-chain perspective, the key issue is the flow of these stolen tokens. Ubisoft announced a rollback, but in-game tokens and on-chain assets are two different concepts. If R6 involves cross-chain bridges or DEX liquidity, tracking becomes significantly more difficult. Hackers typically disperse transfers across multiple wallet addresses immediately, using privacy tools to obfuscate the trail.

Several signals to watch for:
- Wallet addresses of abnormal tokens to see if they flow into specific exchanges or mixing services
- Selling pressure of R6 tokens in the secondary market, which directly reflects the hacker's intent to cash out
- Whether Ubisoft's rollback mechanism has actual enforceability or just freezes in-game accounts

The general pattern of such events is: large-scale theft → rapid dispersal → mixing to hide traces → opportunistic cash-out. The time window is critical; the longer the delay, the higher the cost of tracking.
