The dark side of hacking rears its ugly head once more, spreading malware all over internet. This time, Atlus.com falls victim to a “third-party entity” which apparently managed to hack into the site, embedding the dreaded trojan virus into the system. What’s worse is that the virus may have spread to the visitors of the said site, giving gamers from all over the world a very, very bad day.

Atlus estimates that visitors between 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. PST yesterday may have gotten infected. There aren’t any confirmed infections just yet, but naturally, they won’t be able to go report the infection if their computers are all screwed up, right? “The faith and trust of our fans is of the utmost importance to us, a responsibility we don’t take lightly,” Atlus said in a statement.

Atlus.com is still down and they’re still trying to sort the problem out and who may have caused it. Fear not, you can still get Atlus news and updates right here on QJ!
