    Kinda “meh” on this one. Sure, attackers will use other formats to spread malware. But, it’s not like thy haven’t been successful enough with zip files. If anything, it might mean that Windows Defender actually has a better chance to analyze the contents, before they execute. Though, whether or not Defender will actually block the execution is open for debate.
