Order restored to universe as Microsoft surrenders confiscated No-IP domains

Microsoft has surrendered the 23 domain names it confiscated from dynamic domain hosting service No-IP.com. The move begins the process of restoring millions of connections that went dark as a result of the highly controversial legal action. Microsoft confiscated the domains in late June through a secretive legal maneuver that didn’t give the dynamic DNS provider an opportunity to oppose the motion in court. Microsoft’s move was part of a legal action designed to dismantle two networks of infected Windows computers that were abusing No.IP in an attempt to evade takedown.”]
