You are very likely visiting that site because you typed vlc.zip somewhere. Similar to setup.zip I registered the domain to prevent harm to users.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the internet, staying ahead of malicious actors and protecting users from potential threats is of paramount importance. To combat the risks associated with hosting malicious content related to VLC media player, have taken a commendable step by launching VLC.zip—a domain specifically designed to safeguard users from potential security vulnerabilities. With the recent introduction of .zip as a new top-level domain (TLD) a potential risk was introduced.

Preventing Malicious Intent and Impersonation

The introduction of VLC.zip not only serves as a protective measure against malicious hosting but also acts as a deterrent for impersonation attempts. Cybercriminals often exploit well-known software names to deceive users into downloading harmful files or falling victim to phishing attacks. VLC.zip also redirecting to this blogpost improves awareness.

What can you do? Talk to your sysadmin and consider to block the toplevel domain .zip. Install a AV software and keep all your software up to date.
