Notepad++ Hacked

TL;DR According to the former hosting provider, the shared hosting server was compromised until September 2, 2025. Even after losing server access, attackers maintained credentials to internal services until December 2, 2025, which allowed them to continue redirecting Notepad++ update traffic to malicious servers. The attackers specifically targeted Notepad++ domain with the goal of exploiting insufficient update verification controls that existed in older versions of Notepad++. All remediation and security hardening were completed by the provider by December 2, 2025, successfully blocking further attacker activity.

Games I’ve played

Cairn

I only managed to play Cairn. It’s a great indie climbing game that came out on January 29th. The controls have been significantly improved since the demo, sometimes it’s tough, some walls only a mountain goat could climb, but it’s worth the struggle. Great game.

My work

Work is moving forward despite the heavy workload in the normal job. I don’t really have much more to write, but I’m thinking about starting devlogs, maybe once a month.

And that’s it for this month!
