Execute your best ideas with Google Registry's .exe top-level domain

Sadly, the .zip tld wasn't a joke.

Edit: holy **** I just realize this is googel, not google. And yes, I had to fight autocorrect to correctly misspel googel.

Is this an official domain? ‘googelblog’?

This is fundamentally _awful_ (fortunately still throwing NX for me). This is going to be confusing for end users, frustrating for IT admins, and will make phishing training that much more difficult.

Is the "ILOVEYOU.exe" a reference to the virus[0]?

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILOVEYOU

I'll wait for fuckyougooglefortheexetld.exe.

Yeah I think this an April's fools joke..

I think you may be right. Half the links on the page don't work.

Yeah all the links they reference in the beginning are negative towards Google too

Take a closer look at the domain ;)

The rest are to reports of problems with Google's phishing helping mistakes with .zip and .mov, such as https://www.wired.com/story/google-zip-mov-domains-phishing-... explaining the joke, such as it is.

I’m heartbroken, I would love a .exe domain

But I did fall for it..

And here I was thinking "surely everyone's going to see the googel in the URL right". And then I remember that phishing is ... constantly successful. Sigh.
