Denuvo Cracking Group DenuvOwO Reportedly Disbands After Irdeto Lawsuit

DenuvOwO, a group that specialized in cracking Denuvo anti-tamper protection, has reportedly disbanded. Tom's Hardware tied the move to an Irdeto lawsuit against an anonymous cracker called voices38, filed in the Northern District of California over circumvention in 26 games. CS.Rin, where DenuvOwO links were posted, deleted those links and expelled some members. Cracking continues, with voices38 and RUNE still active.

Tom's Hardware attributed the disbandment to Irdeto's suit against a cracker called voices38, filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, where the publisher alleges circumvention of copy protection in 26 games. The forum CS.Rin, a frequent host for DenuvOwO's posts, removed all links tied to the group and expelled some of its members. Two names remain in play: voices38, who answered the suit on Reddit by writing that everything continues as normal, and the cracking group RUNE.
