W-- fun fact #3246 There is a "Zip Bomb" called 42.zip that when downloaded is only 42 Kilobytes, but actually contains 4,500,000 Gigabytes uncompressed. The file crashes computers when Anti-Virus software comes across it during a routine scan and tries to open the entire file, using up all the computer's memory.
