2025-12-11: Notepad++ updater hacked again. Do not update from within the app or from third party sites.
Reposting from campus CSF list:
Please note: You must download and install this update manually from the notepad++ site to get the version not infected with malware! This is a classic case of a supply chain vulnerability. Do NOT update from within the Notepad++ application as seen in the screenshot below.
note that the infected fake version has one less digit than normal.
