The choice of the ".zip" extension is not accidental. A ZIP file is a compressed archive that can contain multiple files, including executable programs, scripts, or malware, hidden within a single, ostensibly harmless folder.

Never download or open ZIP files from unknown sources, suspicious websites, or unexpected emails. These can contain malware. Always use reputable antivirus software to scan any downloaded file.

The device could be compromised to join a botnet, allowing it to be used in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against other targets.

The archive format allows attackers to conceal malicious payloads from basic signature-based antivirus scanners.
