    Bleeping Computer[^]:

    Cybersecurity researchers and IT admins have raised concerns over Google's new ZIP and MOV Internet domains, warning that threat actors could use them for phishing attacks and malware delivery.

    Google was so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

      Old Kazaa and Limewire malware spreaders are coming out of retirement to promote a new .mp3 TLD>

      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

        If that were only a problem with google... :sigh: :sigh: :sigh:

        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.

          That reminds me of one my favorite quotes from a "Star Trek" movie. The president of the Federation said, "Just because we can do a thing does not mean we must do that thing."

          "They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"
