According to [TorrentFreak](https://torrentfreak.com/hitman-2s-denuvo-protection-cracked-three-days-before-launch-181112/), the long-awaiting stealth game Hitman 2 – which comes ‘protected’ by the latest variant of Denuvo (v5.3) – leaked online. Aside from having its protection circumvented, this happened three days before the title’s official launch on November 13.
It appears that a relatively new cracking group called FCKDRM obtained a version of Hitman 2 that was only available to those who pre-ordered the game. While several groups have been chipping away at Denuvo for some time, FCKDRM is a new entrant (at least by branding) to the cracking scene. (Note: The group is not related to the [FCKDRM initiative](https://fckdrm.com/), an anti-DRM site launched by GOG.com, even though it does use the logo.)
It should be noted that the owners of Denuvo [released marketing material a few months ago](https://torrentfreak.com/denuvo-cites-huge-losses-for-aaa-game-not-using-its-anti-piracy-tech-181108/) suggesting that even 4 days of protection (actually even hours according to them) is worth the price of their DRM. (However, no mention of -3 days.)
(I wasn't sure where to post this... but I figured it affects WINE more than it affects Native Linux)
