Case Study: Notepad++ strengthens website security with Hostinger

Notepad++ secures hosting after 2 months of unauthorized server access with Hostinger

The customer Notepad++ was the specific target of a security incident on a Hostinger shared hosting server. Bad actors gained unauthorized access with the goal of intercepting traffic to the Notepad++ website to compromise its software update process.

Hostinger immediately responded by transferring all clients from the affected server to a secure environment. The vendor fixed the vulnerabilities that were exploited, rotated all credentials that could have been obtained, and found no evidence that any other clients were impacted. Hostinger continues to work with the affected client to ensure services remain reliable and secure.
