no-ip

The documents were served to no-ip in Nevada, but the other parties were in an arabic-speaking country.

It isn't the least bit true, and there was no link between no-ip and the people abusing their service.

And everyone gets pissed at Microsoft for mishandling no-ip.com's domains in an effort to fight malware.

Or they knew that No-IP had long been aware of the abusive domains and had not done anything about them.

OpenDNS published a report on malware support domains in April 2013, identifying No-IP as the top provider of them [1].

Microsoft was willing to hand over No-IP’s domains, but only if the company met certain terms.

Cisco published a report in February 2014 on dynamic DNS abuse [2], naming No-IP as a major provider for malware domains.

No-IP sells managed DNS, which you can get with Azure as well, so in that particular service they are direct competitors.

If they could do it against No-IP, they can the same thing to others.

When people take that idea to the next level, we get abuse like Microsoft shutting down no-ip.

No-IP posted a comment linking to a formal response on their blog [3].

The court was in Las Vegas, and Microsoft, No-IP and the company that was ordered to redirect the domains are all based in the US.
