Is there any valid reason to include files.slack.com?

Hello! Thank you for opening your first issue in this repo. It’s people like you who make these host files better!

It's from Threat-Intel. @davidonzo

Uhm, but I believe Slack is widely used by many companies. The files.slack.com is a file repository.

I also noticed this issue yesterday, as @shreyasminocha says, it's from Threat-Intel, and Threat-Intel is also referenced by another few lists, e.g. EnergizedProtection, so if you are using multiple block lists(I know many users are), the domain might also be blocked by some other block lists.

Issue davidonzo/Threat-Intel#16 was opened earlier, feel free to leave comment if you found something important or helpful :)

Fixed, see the conversation on twitter: https://twitter.com/AdamSurak/status/1356152687289655297
The domain has been whitelisted, as ever in these cases. Of course, be carefull, since the downloaded file from the host is an effective malware.
