In the fictional .hack universe, Pluto's Kiss is a catastrophic event that took place on December 24, 2005. On that day, all computers connected to the Internet (that did not run on the ALTIMIT OS) crashed simultaneously around the globe. Additionally, all networked computer and communication network control systems were shut down.
In the United States, the automatic retaliatory systems malfunctioned, in a short time reaching a point of crisis. 77 minutes later, the global network was able to recover itself from the incident but the resulting chaos caused the United States' nuclear defense and automated counter-strike systems to be armed, nearly causing a world-wide nuclear standoff.
It was later discovered that the virus creator was a ten year old elementary school student, living in Los Angeles, California. Since his/her identity is unknown, it is not known if he/she was arrested or escaped.
The incident was so damaging that United States President Jim Stonecold later resigned from office in January 2006 after taking full responsibility for the incident.
From that point on, ALTIMIT OS became the only major operating system in the world; this is credited to its remarkable stability.
