What it means

What happened

filebin.ca blocked the upload because the filename uses a disguised double extension (e.g. invoice.pdf.exe) — a common malware-delivery trick.

Why

Why it might have happened

  • The filename hides an executable or script extension behind a document/image extension.
  • This pattern is refused at upload regardless of the file contents.
Next steps

What you can try

  1. Rename the file to its real, single extension before uploading.
  2. Do not disguise executables or scripts as documents or images.
  3. Contact support if you believe this block is a mistake and include the error code.
