FFS. I installed it after seeing it here on HN and on MacRumors. Terrible failure on my part but MacRumors should offer an apology for endorsing this fake release.

This is such a blow for MacRumors... I won't be taking them seriously anymore after this. They are complicit.
A website that's specialized into running unconfirmed rumors for clicks, shocking!
9to5mac writes clickbait headlines but MacRumors violates journalistic integrity. They always have been worse, there’s nothing new.
The National Enquirer publishing rumors and gossip?! I'll never read them again!
Me neither. So far all I see is a puny "[Updated]" title on the article with no apology or indication of what was updated.
An apology? That'd be... breaking news /s
You can’t take MacRumors seriously in that sense in general, they often distort their sources and barely do any journalistic due diligence. They are serviceable as a news feed for the sources they link to, and for the rumored-upcoming-features summary listicles.
First thing I do is check official notepad++ website. I didn't see anything, that what's stop me.
Smart. Good on you for noticing it wasn’t the real website.
Same with heise online, Germany's largest IT news site:

I mean, the website is called "Rumors", so their reliability is in compliance with the letter of the contract :-)
