The paper below explores the technical mechanics, the resulting security vulnerabilities, and the broader implications of file-extension TLDs like me.zip .
📄 The Illusion of a File: Security Implications of the .zip Top-Level Domain 📌 Abstract me.zip
The security crisis materialized when TLDs matching widely used local file extensions—specifically .zip and .mov —were made available for public registration. A string like setup.zip or me.zip , which previously guaranteed local execution of an archive, can now easily resolve to a live, attacker-controlled web server. 2.
