.xyz (alongside some others like .top, .biz?) in particular have a reputation for phishing/malware/etc., I think because they’re among the cheapest to register.

- ziddoap 2y agoThe funny thing is, the number 1 & 2 spam/phishing/malware domains that hit my company's mail server is gmail.com and outlook.com, followed by random .com domains. My domain block list is approaching 1,000 domains and I don't think I have a single .xyz or .biz in there. There's a few .top. But the overwhelming majority is .com.
- daedrdev 2y agoI feel like .zip and .mov gTLDs are more understandable to have blocked

They’re inexpensive and not very responsive to abuse reports - https://www.icann.org/uploads/compliance_notice/attachment/1225/hedlund-to-wenxia-16jul24.pdf https://www.icann.org/uploads/compliance_notice/attachment/1... .xyz though I mostly associate with abc.xyz, the investor relations page for Alphabet.
