Fake Notepad++ Plugin Delivers MATCHBOIL.V2 in UAC-0099 Attacks

CERT-UA disclosed that UAC-0099, a Russia-aligned threat group, is distributing a malicious program disguised as a Notepad++ plugin to compromise Windows systems. The campaign delivers malware called MATCHBOIL.V2, continuing the group's pattern of using trojanized software delivery mechanisms.

Why it matters: Windows users and defenders need to verify plugin sources, as UAC-0099 targets organizations in Ukraine and Eastern Europe with supply chain compromises that bypass traditional defenses.
