The Notepad++ developer has issued a warning about a fake macOS version of the popular text editor being distributed through notepad-plus-plus-mac.org. The unauthorized site uses the Notepad++ trademark and the developer's personal information to appear legitimate. This represents a clear case of trademark infringement that has already misled users and tech media.
Background
Notepad++ is a popular free source code editor for Windows that has never had an official macOS version. The project maintains strong brand recognition in the developer community.
