Hash: SHA1

It is created by the phishing.bad.sites.conf update mechanism. This 
process needs somewhere to store temporary files, and this seemed as 
good a location as any.
Please don't try to move it. As you have found, it just re-creates 
itself, but wastes your network bandwidth by not having its temporary 
files available.
