Reminder that this person has previously named one of their releases "Stand with Hong Kong" to stand with the western backed color revolution. They are a shit-lib. Still not bad software for Windows but obviously you should be careful with anything that does updates.
they're CIA-controlled. They were caught with CIA backdoors.
Not that I don't believe it given their pro-Hong Kong riots, apparently pro-Ukro-nazi stance but got any specific receipts I can bookmark?
Support Taiwan's return to the UN.
Taiwan was never in the UN. The Republic of China, representing China, was. And was replaced by the PRC representing China.

Them having CIA backdoors is public info. Companies being openly pro state-department policies is a huge red flag. They usually try to stay quiet on political matters. Proton is another example of CIA-ran company. Proton AG.

The actual exploit was available as part of some leaks but the source is a super common issue on windows.
"Our benevolent covert national security organization versus their barbaric state-sponsored hackers"
It's surprising that this isn't a common headline. Too many windows programs have worse issues than this, updating over unencrypted HTTP and with no integrity checks at all
I don't really want to insult Winblows too hard here, supply chain attacks are possible with any imperfectly secured software on any OS, but... yeah, you hear a lot more about this kind of thing with Winblows software.

..AGAIN. This is the SECOND time NP++ has been hacked. The first time was ACTUALLY the CIA and not a made up state hacker.
Notepad++ has been a problematic software for way too many reasons, that I gave it up some while ago, thankfully.
When I use an editor, I don't want eight extra KILOBYTES of worthless help screens and cursor positioning code! I just want an EDitor!! Not a “viitor”. Not a “emacsitor”. Those aren't even WORDS!!!! ED! ED! ED IS THE STANDARD!!!
TEXT EDITOR.
ed is lightweight and distraction free. That is why I always use ed.

Didn't this happen before? Like several years ago I remember reading it was hacked by the CIA
