Trademark violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac

A fraudulent website (notepad-plus-plus-mac.org) is impersonating Notepad++ by falsely claiming to offer an official macOS version, exploiting the trademark and even using the original creator's name to appear legitimate. This supply chain impersonation threat has already deceived users and media outlets, highlighting the risk of counterfeit developer tools entering enterprise environments and compromising software integrity and security posture. IT organizations must implement strict software procurement controls and verification procedures to prevent employees from inadvertently downloading malicious or unauthorized versions of widely-used development tools.
