Notepad++ wants your help in "parasite website" shutdown

Notepad++ maintainers caution that a lookalike domain (notepad.plus) is impersonating the project, potentially posing security risks via deceptive ads or future misuse, although it currently redirects to official downloads and carries a disclaimer; community feedback is mixed and no malicious software is confirmed, so users are urged to obtain Notepad++ only from notepad-plus-plus.org and report the copycat site if abuse is observed.
