Our findings show that the abuse rate for the .zip TLD is 0.20% which is close to the average compared to all other TLDs. This rate indicates that .zip domain names are not being used to attack users more than the average TLDs - at least for now. However, if attackers find they have better success using .zip than other TLDs, the rates of abuse might change.

Given new TLDs, such as .zip, tend to have a higher abuse rate than legacy and ccTLDs we suggest that the security research community should continue the healthy debate about the potential risks of the .zip TLD and that internet users continue to be weary of downloading and opening files with a .zip extension or TLD from sources or individuals they may not know.

Choosing to use this TLD basically just screams ignorance, and should be causing users to question the competence of the person who made that choice.

Not sure if that tone is the best for a healthy debate.

every single one of those features

First features presented: site name, tagline, sidebar, announcement and icons.

Why would those be managed at the user level?

Oh nice! Maybe I should try too

@Kierunkowy74@piefed.social we just moved !casualconversation@lemm.ee to !casualconversation@piefed.social

Your family members are on Lemmy?

Is there any PoC of attacks on Lemmy using .zip TLD ? The instance has been up for 2 years, I never heard anything

!fedigrow@lemm.ee

I was happy to participate without having to find another instance for my communities

!languagesettings@lemmy.zip

Both list of blocked instances are in the body of this post

Lemm.ee federates HB, and lemmy.zip does too.

When I open an alt, admins usually check out with me to see if it's actually me.

Usernames are not “copyrighted” across instances for very good reasons

Try to open a "dessalines" or "jordanlund" account elsewhere, you're probably going to get questioned about it.

other than what you voluntarily provide on your own profile sig.

Yes, that's a way to link your accounts.

Ping @viking@infosec.pub btw

I'm just pointing this out as I was following !askmenover30@lemm.ee , and it never got really active.

As you said, the majority of Lemmy is probably men over 30 years old.

That said, good luck!

I haven't ever followed it. Do we know if him adopting Linux have an effect on his audience?

Now that the API is there, hopefully it will in the future

That might be me, but I feel like Lemmy's general Ask communities are small/quiet enough for questions targeting a certain demographics to be asked there
