    Same can and has been said for other gTLDs, like .xyz. Which since they did that 99¢ numbered domain thing has also lead to a lot of wholesale blacklisting.

    Just can’t have nice things while there are bad apples around I guess. Few more of these and we might see a shift towards company IT simply whitelisting the old TLDs and leaving the rest sinkholed as a preventative measure. After all, few legitimate sites are on gTLDs(for now?)

    All those gTLDs meant to widen the market and free up words and phrases long since parked and .com|org|net is still the only viable option if you want to presume you can be visited.
