The anti-piracy company Denuvo filed a complaint against a notorious cracker

Denuvo is not a particularly appreciated software in the PC gaming community. It's a bit of DRM that has been used for a while (though nitpickers will say it's an anti-sabotage system ) to a minimum of success, preventing hacking on several new ones. games. For a while, it seemed that anti-piracy technology was finally about to eradicate the practice – with the 3DM cracking group noting that by 2018, hacking could be eradicated. The effectiveness of Denuvo has decreased over recent times. Where it took weeks or even months to crack, some games now have their protection against scoured copying in a day.

One of the leaders is a cracker named Voksi. Denuvo has now taken legal action against him and his cracking site, Revolt.

"It finally happened, I can not say that it was not planned, Denuvo lodged a complaint against me with the Bulgarian authorities.The police came yesterday and took the PC from the server and my personal PC.I had to go to the police eventually and explain myself, "said Voksi on the subreddit of r / CrackWatch. "Later that day, I contacted Denuvo themselves and offered them a peaceful resolution [sic] to this problem.They can not say anything for sure, but they said the last word comes back to the prosecutor of my case. "

Since then, Denuvo's parent company, Irdeto, has issued a statement saying that Voksi had been arrested.

Piracy is a now firmly established threat in the gaming industry and we are focused on securing the content of game publishers and on the fact that hackers can not distort the game environment at the expense of other players. Irdeto Cybersecurity Services Mark Mulready said: "The swift action of the Bulgarian police on this subject shows the power of collaboration between law enforcement and technology providers and that piracy is a serious crime on which it will be necessary to act. "

According to this statement, the Bulgarian Cybercrime Unit "can confirm that a 21-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday because he was suspected of crimes related to the cybercrime and computer equipment had been confiscated and our investigations are ongoing. "

Piracy may not be as harmful to the industry as it was intended, but it is not still something you should do, especially with regard to the technical aspect of copy protection 19659003] Last updated: July 26, 2018
