http://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/hacking-npp-site.html The Notepad++ official site was hacked on 12th January 2015, due
to its controversial new version 6.7.4 "Je suis Charlie" edition,
released on 10th January 2015. The site was restored on the same
day.
The binaries of this edition are on another server and they are
not compromised (the SHA1 published on 11th January 2015 is always
available on SF). The automatic typing in Notepad++ "Je suis
Charlie" edition after installation is a feature.
The message of the defacement accused Notepad++ of inciting hatred
towards Islam and accusing Islam of supporting terrorism. The
statements of Notepad++ "Je suis Charlie" edition support nothing
but the freedom of expression and only that. The fact of Notepad++
supporting the "Je suis Charlie" movement has nothing to do with
any accusation towards a specific community. In fact the "Je suis
Charlie" movement in France, as far as I can tell, deserves no
label of racism or of Islamophobia. I have many Muslim friends who
are for "Je suis Charlie". And sincerely, I don't think that two
extremist fools can stand for all Muslims or Islam itself.
If you don't like "Je suis Charlie" edition, that's fine. You can
still use Notepad++ v6.7.3 - they are the same in terms of
features and bug fixes. notepad-plus-plus.org could be hacked over
and over again, but I will always find a way to distribute
Notepad++ "Je suis Charlie" edition - that's my freedom of
expression which I claim as my right.
