‘Drm company Denuvo left directories with support emails open’

Denuvo, known for its DRM technology for games, left a number of directories open on its site, exposing emails. Google, among others, seemed to be interested in Denuvo’s DRM techniques.

Most of the information in the open directories is not interesting according to Torrentfreak, which shows a screenshot showing the directories in question. However, an 11MB file called Ajax.log contained emails from the support department dating back to 2014.

In addition to telephone numbers and names, these are mainly emails from dissatisfied consumers, but also messages from game companies that are interested in the company’s technology. Capcom, ABZU, Microsoft, Atari and NinjaTheory, among others, would have sought to approach Denuvo in this way. In addition, Torrentfreak cites an email from Google’s security team that they would like a demo. Among the files are also logs, executable files and slides of a presentation.

The incident embarrasses the company at a time when DRM technology is already under attack. Many gamers complain that the anti-copy techniques are unfriendly to use. The DRM has long been known as uncrackable, but recently Bethesda’s Doom and Capcom’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard have been cracked. The latter happened within a few days of its release.
