If you saw ChromeUpdate202506.zip, then what do you believe it is? A downloadable upload for Chrome or a website?

What if a malicious person has purchased that domain and filled the website with something malicious, a virus, an info stealer, etc?

I block the .zip TLD because the domains can be used maliciously. Within the first few days there were hundreds/thousands of domains registered with names to look like a zip files for updating some software.

I also block the .mov TLD for the exact same reason.

Sure on a good day you can spot the malicious intent from a mile away, but I like to protect for when I’m having a bad day. I also block the TLDs for the whole family as well because unfortunately they’re not as tech savvy or meticulous.
