A Russian software company by the name of Arusoft may have cracked 4K Ultra HD Blu-Ray DRM. All it requires is a PC with a Blu-Ray drive and a $235 piece of software.
At the beginning of this week a new mysterious company with a new mysterious software popped up, Arusoft with DeUHD. The company claimed that its software would be able to copy Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. In a statement to us, the company even stated that it considered AACS 2.0 to be cracked.
With a license of €200 ($235) there weren't many people who wanted to test and potentially lose their money. Therefore, the company handed out 5 licenses to randomly selected users and the first results are in.
To sum up the results: It works, but they don't appear to have cracked AACS 2.0 itself. Instead, the DeUHD developers appear to have found working keys for specific films.

Doesn't seem any different from the previously cracked discs. AACS 2.0 is still not dead yet and compromised keys will be cycled out or are only specific to a small amount of movies.
Here's the fourth disc: https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/6i1a4e/fourth_uhd_bluray_released_is_aac_20_cracked/ [reddit.com]
