The social-media Web as we knew it, a place where we consumed the posts of our fellow-humans and posted in return, appears to be over.

    How deliciously ironic that this is paywalled.

    Spreed 42.zip, renamed in boobs.zip, in Facebook and you’ll see how funny the internet can be.

      Don’t pretty much all modern .zip managers know to not open zip bombs anymore?

        No, clicking on a zipfile make work a zip manager. But most AV identify the zip file as badware if it scan it. How many user scan downloaded files with an AV up to date, before open or use it? Or an atached file in the mail? Well, 42.zip is pretty known and you can download it from GitHub, but there are still zip bombs made and in use, even to eliminate AV protections, because it put the AV in a infinite loop in the intent to scan it, if it is a ZOD which isn’t in the definition base of the AV, blocking and overloading the system, because of this they are still dangerous.
