Laste week Notepad++, this week 7-Zip…

Last week Notepad++ had to give out a warning that their web hoster was infiltrated and certain users were receiving malware laced updates from September through December last year, now 7Zip is reporting that a malicious actor registered 7zip(.)com and was pushing out a fake version of 7Zip with a buried proxy in it. The official 7-Zip is 7-zip.org

There were associated YouTube how-to videos for building PCs with links to the fake site.
