This is unfortunate. I hope apps don't interpret file names as domain names, much less as directions to an http server

- adsfoiu1 4y agoI guess this could be a more common issue with zip, but any TLD could also be a file extension so in that sense this isn't a new problem
- gary_0 4y agoYes, but TLDs like this increase the attack surface of the system, making it easier for bad actors to exploit bugs in networked software or craft phishing-style attacks (including more opportunities for typosquatting). While com/net/org/country only was too spartan, I see the modern TLD free-for-all as a Bad Thing.
