When lemmy.zip was announced, a few people were concerned about the .zip, as it could create security issues. Has it been the case so far? Has anyone ever been blocked by a work firewall due to .zip? (lemmy.zip)

Are there any exploits that have ever made use of TLD <-> file extension confusion? This seems really unlikely to help pull off an attack, even if the TLD was .exe, but maybe I'm overly optimistic.
