Microsoft settles civil lawsuit it filed against dynamic DNS provider No-IP. Microsoft sued the company for being complicit in a wide-ranging malware campaign that infected millions of PCs. A federal judge had granted Microsoft temporary custody of 23 domains, which Microsoft said were being used, in part, to control malware. But when Microsoft seized control of the domains June 30 and attempted to filter out the malicious traffic, it also disrupted access to millions of legitimate hostnames. Microsoft says it finds the company “was not knowingly involved with the subdomains used to support malware” and that those spreading the malware abused Vitalwerks’ services.”]
