Denuvo was also a person against Voski, the hacker who brought them upside down
Irdeto, the company that owns Denuvo, has put a lot of effort into having Voski arrested and all computer equipment required for hacking.
The anti-piracy system integrated into the Denuvo games, got the hacker Voski arrested in the middle of the week. The hacker of Bulgarian origin, is behind several violations of the DRM security system and was the one who said that Denuvo affected the performance of the game Assassin's Creed: Origins. Recently, this company has managed to police the Revolt website to be shut down and now it is going against the hacker, getting all the computer equipment required.
Denuvo goes straight for Voski, the hacker known for successfully bypassing DRM security.
Irdeto, the company that owns Denuvo, has published an official statement stating that Voksi has been detained in Bulgaria by the cybercrime unit. Good news for DRM within the industry and hope that the different games will stop hacking and whoever does it ends up behind bars.
A 21-year-old Bulgarian, also known as Voksi, from Dimitrovgrad, Bulgaria, allegedly responsible for pirating several games that carry Denuvo's Anti-Tamper software, has been arrested following a collaboration between Irdeto and the Bulgarian Cybercrime Unit.
Following an initial Irdeto investigation into the piracy of Denuvo Anti-Tamper software, the findings were relayed to the Bulgarian CyberCrime Unit and led to a raid of a premises in Dimitrovgrad, Bulgaria, on Tuesday. During the raid, the police confiscated computers and other items that were suspected of having been used in the piracy of a number of titles.
"Piracy is a threat that is now firmly established in the gaming industry, and we are focused on securing content from game publishers and ensuring that hackers cannot distort the gaming environment for personal gain at the expense of other players." said Mark Mulready. Vice President of Cybersecurity Services, Irdeto.
"The swift action of the Bulgarian police on this matter shows the power of collaboration between law enforcement agencies and technology providers, and that piracy is a serious offense to be acted upon."
Bulgaria's Cyber Crimes Unit added: “We can confirm that a 21-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of crimes related to cybercrime and that the computer equipment was confiscated. Our investigations are ongoing. "
Hackers do not get any personal benefit from hacking games. The industry should worry about offering complete games, which justify their price, and Denuvo, stop screwing the performance of games with its outdated security system
