The hacker known as voices38 has breached the Denuvo protection system in the game 007 First Light, which was released on May 27, 2026, approximately two weeks before the hack was reported. Voices38's method is a conventional executable "crack" that does not require users to disable security mechanisms, making it more user-friendly than previous attempts by the group DenuvOwO. Voices38 has also successfully bypassed protections in other high-profile games, including Pragmata, Stellar Blade, Resident Evil: Requiem, and Mafia: The Old Country. The effectiveness of DRM solutions like Denuvo is being questioned as hackers develop more sophisticated methods to breach these systems.

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has declared private Minecraft servers illegal, equating them to a "black market" for video games and considering them a form of piracy. The ESA is pursuing legal action against the owners of these private servers. However, Microsoft and Mojang Studios, the creators of Minecraft, do not fully share the ESA's perspective, as many fan-driven projects have thrived in a more lenient environment. Microsoft has not officially commented on the ESA's statements regarding private servers.
