Your email client "helpfully" recognizes that "photos.zip" can be a TLD, so turns it automatically into a hyperlink. You click it because you think it's a link your boss intended to share with you, but you actually land on a site that pwns your browser with an exploit.

- benatkin 3y agoThat isn't GP's example. That's a separate one. There are 3 - yours, GP's, and GGP's. None of the three seem like serious attack vectors to me. I'm still having trouble coming up with a legitimate attack vector so I think there must not be one. I am ready to change my mind when I see one though.
