alt Hacker News> Traffic from certain targeted users was selectively redirected to attacker-controlled served malicious update manifests.
I'd be curious to know if there was any pattern as to which users were targeted, but the post doesn't go into any further detail except to say it was likely a Chinese state-sponsored group.

I dont know who hacked the servers nor I do know how to find out. Let's blame state actors, who's going to come verify these claims.

It might have been explicitly targeted, but they did say that there were older versions of Notepad ++ with ""insufficient update verification controls" so it might have just been there was only one subset of users actually susceptible to this.
