I worked in phishing detection. This was a common pattern used by attackers, although .exe are blocked automatically most of the time, .html is the new malicious extension (often hosting an obfuscated window.location redirect to a fake login page).
RTL abuse like cute-cat-lmth.png was relatively common, but also trivial to detect. We would immediately flag such an email as phishing.
