Oh, please, no-one would fall for that! FY2018_salary_data.xls.exe, on the other hand... :P

It wasn't uncommon to see hot_new_song.mp3.exe back in the gnutella heyday.

[paranoidrobot → doughj3]

It's still reasonably common to see hot_new_movie.mp4.exe or have an encrypted mp4 with a install_this_codec.exe beside it.

Hidden file extension by default, so users are left wondering "hey why does this song end in .mp3"

Or even hot_new_song.mp3{lots_of_whitespace}.exe
