"Notepad++ Seeks Assistance in Shutting Down Fake Website"
The Notepad++ project is seeking help to shut down a copycat website, notepad[.]plus, that closely impersonates Notepad++ and poses potential security threats. Despite redirecting to the official downloads page, the lookalike site is accused of harboring malicious advertisements and diverting traffic from the legitimate Notepad++ website. While some community members dispute the risks posed by the unofficial site, the project urges users to obtain Notepad++ from its official website to ensure safety.
