I was wondering when that .box TLD would become a liability for them.
'Course, that could still backfire this way if someone establishes the Republic of Boxsylvania and won't accept "bx". (Also not great if we enter into an era of unprecedented national mergers, splits, and renames.)
Should I keep it? What are uses cases for such a 'misguided' domain? I thought about putting a blog on it but fear it’d get flagged as malicious left and right. It’d look odd to say the least.
If I don’t renew, scammers might get their hands on the domain.
Anyone who has invoice.zip on an email should see that as a clickable link if the url detection is right
Then for example you put a file on / of your domain that downloads a malicious .zip file
See where this is going?
And I don’t buy into .zip being made part of automatic URL detection in tools, for all the illegitimate reasons it’ll be used for. Vendors of email clients, messengers and chat applications tend to stick to a core of well-known TLDs.
