    Yes, because if you read the release it was a fault at the underlying provider which they were already moving away form.

    Also, you can not stop a proper state sponsored threat actor so leaving an org because they were hit is stupid when they are open about what happened and how they have made actual changes to minimise it from happening again.

        Not my choice. But higher ups.

        Ok, but your comment pretty clearly expressed an implied agreement with that choice.

          That’s you reading meaning into my words.

          I stated facts about what had happened and asked whether that matters to the recipient.

            Ok, so, do you agree with it? Or do you think that Notepad++ has demonstrated a good commitment to doing the right thing that means it’s still just as worthy of recommendation as it was last month?

              I don’t know enough to make a decision on it.
              I will follow the rules of my work place when working and look into it more before I make the choice between continuing to use it on my personal time. I haven’t had much free time lately, so that is still on the to do list.

        Yes. How an org reacts to security incidents is one of the gauges I use to see if a project should be supported.
