The forum post you linked to says “has been accused” rather than “has used”. It also leads to a dead link, and the page is not in the internet archive.
Wikipedia doesn’t mention it, so there’s no source there either.
There were quite a few news articles back then. Not to mention Denuvo probably pressured to have them removed, what do you expect an event happened in 2017 to have articles survived, when this event is not something you can find in mainstream media?
If you really want to verify, the best bet I can think of, is to ask people in r/crackwatch or cs.rin.ru.
