Google released the top-level domain .zip to the public recently, which means that interested organizations and users may register .zip domains. Cyber criminals are already using .zip domains in phishing campaigns.
The .zip extension allows cyber criminals to run phishing campaigns that abuse the fact that .zip is a popular file extension and also a top level domain.
The Microsoft phishing site displays a Microsoft sign-in prompt when it is accessed. Users should never see the page, but if they override the warning message, should not enter any data on the page.
For now, there is little reason to access .zip domains; this may change if legitimate companies and software developers announce that their products are now also available on a specific .zip domain.
