- ianhawes 5y agoAgreed, and it’s not particularly innovative. No fancy C2 tunneling within Tor, no fileless PowerShell in-memory execution, no sneaky back door.
- ASalazarMX 5y agoThe bait is that Don Ho, Notepad++'s creator, is very political, and while I use it daily, it's always in the back of my mind that he (or his detractors) could use the huge installation base to make a point. I think his tribute update to Charlie Hebdo (2015) did more bad than good for his reputation. https://thedavidjohnson.com/2015/01/12/notepad-tribute-to-charlie-hebdo https://thedavidjohnson.com/2015/01/12/notepad-tribute-to-ch...
- Semaphor 5y agoYeah, but it’s not as if the official site was infected. A random .exe from a completely unrelated site seems to be the vector for the trojan, which brings it back to "very much not interesting" to me.
- ASalazarMX 5y agoIt's definitely uninteresting, the honest title should have been "Malicious website hides StrongPity trojan in program installer".
