When I played around earlier I found e.g. document.zip, atachment.zip (proper spelling wasn't there), image.zip, and a few others like that, without looking very hard. Many were being sold on the registration site I looked at as "premium" presumably for common words or short domains.
Such names appear to be much more plausible attack vectors because they will trap people trying to open files. If I found a cheap common one I was going to buy it just to see what kind of traffic it got, but everything interesting was a few hundred dollars and up.
- caam 3y agoI was looking around for companies such as AWS and Contabo who sell domains without a markup fee. However i havent found any that support the .zip TLD. that makes sense and is pretty good because otherwise people could very easily have bought out every decent domain. For example, i have nabbed modpack.zip, ultimately however i dont see many scenarios where someone would make money from someone's technical inexperience being manipulated with this simple domain. But i feel slightly driven to keep it from the wrong hands. Plus that domain is really easy to remember which is great.
