FFS. I installed it after seeing it here on HN and on MacRumors. Terrible failure on my part but MacRumors should offer an apology for endorsing this fake release.
First thing I do is check official notepad++ website. I didn't see anything, that what's stop me.
Same with heise online, Germany's largest IT news site:

I mean, the website is called "Rumors", so their reliability is in compliance with the letter of the contract :-)
This is such a blow for MacRumors... I won't be taking them seriously anymore after this. They are complicit.
