DEViANCE is an underground group which reportedly began on January 1st, 1999 and is one of a number of groups which partake in the cracking of software protection and circulation of " warez" (pirated software). They do not have a website; they say they don't need one.
DEViANCE has received a good degree of infamy for cracking and releasing large software titles days before or hours within a retail release. A noteworthy example was the release of Unreal Tournament 2004 by DEViANCE 24-hours before Atari's official release date of March 16th, 2004.
