But you know which $EDITOR was not compromised by state actors?

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

@ed1conf

Notepad++? It wasn't the editor that was compromised, it was the hosting provider.

You know, like 3-letter agencies intercepting Cisco boxes & modifying the products therein that were destined for particular countries.

Supply chain's only as good as the weakest link.

@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?

@ed1conf

vim, because they couldn't figure out how to escape with the info? :)

@ed1conf interesting to note that the title says it was "State-sponsored" and in the text says "is likely a Chinese state-sponsored group" but the author of the news doesn't bring any evidenced about who are the sponsors.
@ed1conf @prahou
that's your take-away from the attack on NP++?
