AimJunkies, provider of cheat tools for Destiny 2, claims to have been hacked by Bungie

When confronted by Bungie, the AimJunkies counterattack. The company claims that the studio hacked it. She asks justice to make sure this stops.

The developer of the popular game Destiny 2 has recently been active in legal activity: the studio has sued a user for fraud and threats to employees, as well as a YouTuber who filed about 100 fake copyright infringement requests (DMCA) against other creators. But after a lawsuit against cheat tool provider AimJunkies last year, Bungie now has to deal with a counterattack.

Facing Bungie, AimJunkies Strike Back

According to TorrentFreak, AimJunkies claims that the developer illegally hacked into their employee’s computer. In addition, he claims that Bungie also violated the DMCA by bypassing the security system of this machine.

The company claims the studio hacked it

Bungie’s current Limited Software License Agreement (LSLA) grants the company’s BattleEye software permission to scan computers for anti-cheat tools, but this was not the case in 2019, when the hack in question was supposed to happen. According to AimJunkies, Bungie accessed a computer belonging to its partner James May several times between 2019 and 2021.

Phoenix Digital, the company behind AimJunkies, didn’t stop there. He also claims that Bungie violated its Terms of Service by purchasing software from AimJunkies to reverse engineer its source code. If this all sounds ironic, it’s because Bungie accused the company of similar tactics in its original complaint. James May and Phoenix Digital are seeking damages and a permanent end to these hacks and other DMCA violations. Bungie has not yet commented on this topic.
