The CIA is hacking your notes?

Apropos of nothing in particular.

I just ran an update for Notepad++ (v 7.3.3). The change log began with this;

Quote:

Notepad++ 7.3.3 bug-fixs & enhancements: 1. Fix CIA Hacking Notepad++ issue (http://ift.tt/2nahFVR).

I know that there's all sorts of points of attacks, but I never thought about the CIA getting into my system through my text editor. (Or even why they would want to.)

I'm glad the folks on the Notepad++ team are on top of this sort of stuff.

Lots of holes out there, I guess.
