Notepad++ Hijacked by State-Sponsored Hackers | Notepad++

@ed1conf Thank goodness, Emacs and Vim are also safe from state-sponsored actors.
@x0r Are you sure? Both have an extensive plug-in system and at least Vim lets us side-load plug-ins from everywhere. All a state-sponsored hacker would need is compromise one of them, wouldn't they?
