The Massgrave hacker group claims to have carried out an exploit by bypassing the licensing protections of Windows and Microsoft Office, allowing the permanent and illegal activation of these software. They explain that they have cracked “almost the entire Windows and Office license protection system”. This method directly threatens Microsoft’s economic model, based on licenses and subscriptions.
The implications are serious, but for users, this illegal approach carries big risks, including exposure to malware or legal penalties. Microsoft could intervene quickly to close this loophole.
Microsoft’s licensing system has already been circumvented by methods such as hardware identifier (HWID) activation and KMS. However, what makes this recent hack remarkable is its simplicity and universal accessibility. It allows you to bypass the protections put in place by Microsoft for several years.

@DownPW Interesting. Posting a screenshot of an activated system on X doesn’t really prove anything - it could well be simple bravado, but I guess we’ll find out when (and if) they release the exploit publicly.

It’s clear…
afterwards, Massgrave is very well known for his Microsoft Activation Script and especially for the HWID activation method that even Microsoft support sometimes uses

@DownPW Microsoft Support use this? I find that hard to believe to be honest. That’s almost like giving this individual permission to reverse engineer your own product.

That is like saying to a robber and murderer, hey come on in here and take all my things and by the way before you leave go ahead and stab me in the chest.
