@evacide I vaguely remember reading about an attack like this on notepad++ many years ago. What a pain to be the target of this stuff!

@evacide It's ironic that my company blocks anything with that domain in it. Including the SMB share we're supposed to download it from...
In this case, I'm a sysadmin and won't be able to read and react to this because IT has it blocked.
These are the same people who allow access to the Daily Mail, but not The Guardian...

@evacide What we need to do comes at the end:
"I deeply apologize to all users affected by this hijacking. I recommand downloading v8.9.1 (which includes the relevant security enhancement) and running the installer to update your Notepad++ manually."
