Yeah. Now imagine the liability behind the .zip tld
- diarrhea 3y agoI own a domain along the lines of 'invoice.zip', I thought it’d be fun. But so far, it’s just been useless and expensive. Should I keep it? What are uses cases for such a 'misguided' domain? I thought about putting a blog on it but fear it’d get flagged as malicious left and right. It’d look odd to say the least. If I don’t renew, scammers might get their hands on the domain.
- raverbashing 3y ago> What are uses cases for such a 'misguided' domain? Anyone who has invoice.zip on an email should see that as a clickable link if the url detection is right Then for example you put a file on / of your domain that downloads a malicious .zip file See where this is going?
- diarrhea 3y agoI meant: legitimate use cases. And I don’t buy into .zip being made part of automatic URL detection in tools, for all the illegitimate reasons it’ll be used for. Vendors of email clients, messengers and chat applications tend to stick to a core of well-known TLDs.
