Denuvo Subpoenas Valve And Reddit To Unmask Hacker Target Voices38 [2026 Update]

As originally reported by VGC, digital security firm Irdeto, the parent company behind Denuvo DRM, has officially requested legal subpoenas against Valve Corporation, Discord Inc., and Reddit. The legal motion seeks to compel these major online platforms to disclose identifying information, IP logs, and account data associated with an individual operating under the alias 'voices38'. The defendant has repeatedly bypassed Denuvo's digital rights management mechanisms, releasing unauthorized cracks for multiple high-profile titles. This aggressive litigation signals a major escalation in anti-piracy enforcement across the PC gaming ecosystem. Irdeto's legal filings argue that the individual utilized subreddits, Discord channels, and Steam infrastructure to distribute cracked binaries and coordinate circumvention tools. Much like how platform integrity concerns were raised when , this legal maneuver highlights growing corporate friction over platform accountability and user anonymity. If granted, the subpoenas will require Valve and Reddit to hand over internal registration records, payment transaction details, and communications related to the accused hacker.
