Game developer Ubisoft has lodged a claim against the owners of a website that allegedly sells DDoS attacks against the servers of its best-selling game, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege.
In court documents seen by The Register, the company said the defendants "Have gone out of their way to taunt and attempt to embarrass Ubisoft for the damage [their] services have caused".
The gaming company also alleges the defendants "Falsely claimed" Microsoft and Ubisoft had taken over their website.
Ubisoft has long wrestled with DDoS attacks on its R6S servers.
Ubisoft has asked the court to shut down the websites and is suing for damages and its legal costs.
