Are Zip Bombs legal?

I’ve heard a lot about them recently, not for any specific reason rather I just went on a deep dive after seeing a video about them. The one thing I can’t find is: Are they legal? On one hand it is a virus that can potentially destroy a computer. However on the other it doesn’t actually steal any data or do anything particularly malicious as it is just an insane amount of files. The way most people talk about it is as if it’s just nothing, but then I’ve seen others say it is highly illegal. Figured here was the best place to ask. Cheers
