Heck, even remember that state-level actors abused a flaw in NPP's update mechanism and hijacked NPP's hosting provider to deliver malware to specific targets: https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hijacked-incident-info-up...

There are a lot of NPP users out there, and probably the most important thing, given that they use it to edit all their files, is that they can trust the software. Some rando out of nowhere saying they've written "NPP for Mac" is red flag central.

This is so sloppy I really doubt this is an attempt at malware. It’s more likely the author is, uh, “socially unaware”.

So would you say that the Notepad++ author got Letov with a technicality?
