Ever heard of the 2009 bullet hell shooter Undefined Fantastic Object? No? Well, if you become the victim of a recent Malware attack, you could become very familiar with it.

As Kotaku reports, an undergraduate student in Korea recently developed the Malware "Rensenware" (a pun on title the game's Japanese title "Touhou Seirensen" and "Ransomware," a type of malicious software the prevents users from accessing their computer files) and uploaded it to file-hosting site Github as a joke. After waking up the following day, he found out his joke had spread to several computers.

Rensenware works similarly to Ransomware, with one crucial exception: Whereas most Ransomware requires users to pay hackers to get access to their files, Rensenware only asks the user to score 200 Million points in its titular game on Lunatic difficulty, a task not even its creator, who accidentally infected himself while creating the program, is capable of doing. He has software's already uploaded a "cure" for Rensenware on Github and has issued an apology. "Ransomware is definitely kind of highly-fatal malware, but I made it. I made it for [a] joke, and just laughing with people who like Touhou Project Series.”
