hxxps:[//]]familyphotos.zip (broke the link on purpose) is already registered, and it downloads the zip file. 4 days later, and unsurprisingly, it's already happened. I'll open the zip in a VM and see what happens, it's 0.58 KB...
Update: Turns out it just contains what_happened.txt, a copy of which is below. Thanks anonymous person!

"Hey, this isn't family pictures!"
You're right -- and that link you clicked wasn't a file attached to the email
or message you received.
Thanks to Google[0][1], now it's impossible to discern the difference between
a link to an attachment called "familyphotos.zip" and a link to this file...
unless you are able to inspect the destination of a link before clicking it.
Most software and apps don't allow that, and most people don't know how to
tell the difference anyway.
Have fun in the Wild Wild Web!
