Anti-piracy technology company Denuvo has filed a court action against a well-known game hacker, according to Feber. As part of the case, the company is asking Discord and Reddit to disclose user information connected to the individual, the outlet reports.
The news was published by Feber on Thursday, October 8, 2026. The report does not name the hacker or specify which court is handling the matter.
Denuvo is widely known in the games industry for its anti-tamper software, which publishers use to protect titles from being cracked after release. The company's decision to go through the courts — and to seek data from two major social platforms — marks a notable step beyond its usual technical measures, based on Feber's reporting.
Requests of this kind typically aim to link anonymous online accounts to a real identity, though the details of what Denuvo hopes to obtain from Discord and Reddit have not been made public in the material available.
Discord and Reddit have not commented in the reporting summarized here, and it is not clear whether either platform has responded to the request or intends to challenge it.
What to watch next: whether Discord and Reddit comply with or contest the data request, and whether the court identifies the hacker or sets a hearing date.
