Why Google's new .zip domain is so dangerous

Can you quickly tell which of the URLs below is legitimate and which one is a malicious phish that drops evil.exe? https://github.com∕kubernetes∕kubernetes∕archive∕refs∕tags∕@v1271.zip https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/archive/refs/tags/v1.27.1.zip
If the previous article left you thinking .zip wasn't any worse than other garbage fire TLDs like .biz or .info; it's actually much worse.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

Select link, save as... First is html Second is a real zip file But I see your point. One has to be damn careful when clicking a link and I guess a huge amount of people will step in the trap sooner or later.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
