Microsoft last year launched a civil action again unnamed hacker “John Does” tied to the “internet-based cyber-theft operation referred to as ‘Strontium” The technology giant is alleging that the attackers have violated a number of statutes, including the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the Electronic Communication Privacy Act. Microsoft says it’s attempted to notify Strontium via a range of email addresses that the group is known to use. Microsoft will win the case by default, and be allowed to seize the domain names in question.”]
