The ship has sailed, this is a certainty. But that does not mean that the fight against DNS abuse has stopped, or has no meaning now. The .zip was an example the article's writer has used to highlight the risk, but that is indeed the same risk that existed already with the long list of other extensions that existed before the .zip Khaled Koubaa Twitter : @koubaak <https://twitter.com/koubaak> LinkedIn : linkedin.com/in/koubaak/ <http://www.linkedin.com/in/koubaak/> Website : koubaa.net On Tue, May 30, 2023 at 3:45 PM David Mackey <mackey361@gmail.com> wrote:
It's not really a debate about harm. Adding cognitive load to an end user results in a wider attack plane enabling more DNS abuse which is bad for end users.
Does this mean the ship has sailed on the fight against DNS Abuse?
I certainly hope not. End Users deserve a voice ... wherever the ship may be.

and
https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/archive/refs/tags/v1.27.1.zip Market forces may be pushing a new product with no perceivable value, but let's call it what it is. A product defect is a product defect. Google is playing a game with End User trust that At-Large should not follow.

Thank you Olivier.
There is indeed a long list of TLDs that are File Extension including very widely used ones such as .io or .xyz
This blog post has the full list : https://wkumari.github.io/2023/05/15/TLDs-that-are-extensions.html
PS: The writer of the blogpost is Warren Kumari from Google PS2: I agree with his statement "I think that this particular ship has sailed"

From ARS Technica, 18 May 2023:
A recent move by Google to populate the Internet with eight new top-level domains is prompting concerns that two of the additions could be a boon to online scammers who trick people into clicking on malicious links.
