There's probably better ones, literally the first one I tried, but I'm imaging someone messaging me that telling me to download a recovery package for my Wells Fargo account and that it should open in the browser. Then have UI mimicking some kind of OS prompt and asking for your social security as a password to confirm identity, or something.
- evan_ 3y agoIs that substantially different from simply messaging someone and saying "download this file:" and linking to a malicious site with a .net TLD? Is the thought that the .zip tld conveys some kind of trustworthiness that a different TLD would not? Really trying to understand this, I hope I don't come across as snarky or naïve.
- growthwtf 3y agoAppreciate the clarification, no snark detected. And yeah, that is what I'm thinking people would or could expect. Obviously they're quite different but if someone is multitasking, not thinking clearly, or just not great with computers it seems like something that could (and probably will) happen. I imagine the "conversion rate" of a .net TLD will be much lower for spammers than that of a .zip
