After numerous and consistent cracks over the last year, Denuvo wants to find the hacker that has compromised its security through other online platforms.
Denuvo, a common digital rights management layer that publishers often license for use in major PC game releases, has been having a rough year as more and more of its once-"uncrackable" game security has been defeated more consistently beyond occasional one-off situations. Now Denuvo is attempting to find the person the company believes is responsible for these breaches and is asking the U.S. district court for the Northern District of California to force Valve, Discord, and Reddit to tell it more.
In September, Denuvo filed a DMCA anti-circumvention lawsuit in U.S. federal court against a hacker that goes by the username "voices38." In a complaint obtained by Torrentfreak, Denuvo accused voices38 of bypassing its technology on 26 games, and doing so in a way that fundamentally compromises the way Denuvo works.
As voices38 is releasing "cracks" not just for new titles but also older ones, it appears that the anonymous hacker has discovered how to structurally undermine Denuvo's DRM, thus threatening to blow the entire service open.
After the complaint, Denuvo would have to use it as a springboard to obtain more information on voices38, who is not known to Denuvo beyond that screenname (Denuvo's lawyers even admit to not knowing if it is an individual or a group).
