Dark Souls Online Servers Taken Offline Due To Nasty Security Hack 25 January 2022 by Richard Breslin The Dark Souls online servers have been temporarily taken down by Bandai Namco due to a “nasty” security hack. The news of the apparent hack was shared on Twitter by FromSoftware fan, SkeleMann. The Twitter user warned fellow Dark Souls fans that this hack can not only brick your PC but also access and share confidential data. Furthermore, the hack is being compared to a Trojan Horse virus.
