Notepad++ wants your help in “parasite website” shutdown

Posted by in category: cybercrime/malcode

The Notepad++ project is seeking the public’s help in taking down a copycat website that closely impersonates Notepad++ but is not affiliated with the project.

Although, at the time of writing, the lookalike website takes visitors to the official Notepad++ downloads page, there is some concern that it could pose security threats—for example, if it starts pushing malicious releases or spam someday either deliberately or as a result of a hijack.
