What are you sniveling about now? no-ip.com wasn't seized. The authoritive NS records for the domain still point to Vitalwerks' servers. Ditto for the other no-ip ccTLDs - all of which you listed. Face it, your list is wrong, and RANDOMLY capitalising and bolding WORDS doesn't change that fact, or that hosts files are irrelevant to this discussion.
Fair enough. Don't really blame you in that case. Check out Amazon Route 53 if you haven't already though. Super reliable, and once you get past the clunky interface it's pretty good to use.
Moron, I don't even HAVE mod points. And even if I did, ACs can't moderate, so logging out of my account wouldn't allow me to downmod your post anyway.
Have you considered seeking help? You ave all the signs of paranoid schizophrenia.
APK, for the love of all that's holy... I don't give a shit about your hosts files. They aren't even relevant to this topic. And I post days later because I don't troll Slashdot day and night looking for perceived offenses to take umbrage at and scour comment histories to spam up with irrelevant bullshit.
I was under the impression the constitution imparted the power to provide for the common defence in the original document, hence an amendment was not necessary to create the Air Force (or any defence agency for that matter).
Ah, that makes sense. If I were you, I'd be planning to get a real domain - that way you're in control and you have more resilience to this sort of thing. I know that doesn't really help you now of course.
Hey fuckwit, I didn't say anything about your fucking hosts files. I said your list was wrong because it included a bunch of domains which aren't seized, which is correct.
There's a reason people resort to profanity when dealing with you: because you're a contemptible trolling cunt who needs to fuck off and stop acting like a 5 year old. If you actually read my comment history, you'd see that on occasion I have even agreed with you, where you say things which make sense.
Well, no. Since what they claimed is that they only SEEK to block traffic to the malicious domains. For example by blocking the bad ones and recursing the other ones. Now, they failed to do that, but it wasn't intentional. You certainly wouldn't be able to claim bad faith.
Yes there would be viruses, malware, and a multi-billion dollar a year AV industry, because the criminals would actually be writing malware for OS X and Linux.
Uh, No-IP has a pool of domains which are specifically for paying customers only (which were unaffected, as malware isn't hosted off the paid domains). Why were you not using one of those instead of the free pool?
Actually, they don't. Malware authors use No-IP because all you need to sign up is an email. Registering a domain with Godaddy, Enom, NetSol, etc requires you to hand over to that company your name, address, phone number, credit card details... hardly anonymous. The problem with No-IP is it's anonymous, so malware authors use it.
Those aren't the domains Microsoft seized. APK merely listed No-IPs ccTLDs, which is wrong. Microsoft seized all the domains associated with all the No-IP subdomains listed in http://www.noticeoflawsuit.com... - all the documentation can be read at http://www.noticeoflawsuit.com....
Uh no, because Microsoft's security team don't give a shit about copyright infringement. That's another division's problem. I don't think you understand how big companies actually work. Hint: very dysfunctionally.
Of course, you'd never believe that, because your vision is too clouded by your blind hatred of Microsoft.
We grant them that immunity simply because it's the only way to ensure their impartiality and unbiasedness. You start making them liable (beyond what can already happen should they be found to be perverting the course of justice, an actual criminal offense) and you eliminate that impartiality. That's the dumbest idea I've ever heard.
How is it damaging their business? No-IPs paying customers are unaffected, because they use their own domain names with the No-IP infrastructure, and only the free domains were seized.
And if you actually read the notice of the lawsuit (which is publicly posted) you can see that Microsoft were actually quite explicit in the fact that they mean in 93% of cases where this malware was present, No-IP domains are used. They also point to Youtube videos where malware/RAT authors say "get a No-IP domain" (which No-IP has done nothing about, despite the fact that they should be very loudly decrying criminals pointing to their service). They also point to Cisco/OpenDNS/Symantec and others making the same complaints about No-IP for years and nothing being done.
No, it's pretty damn hard to fault Microsoft for their actions in this.
What business? No-IP's paying customers are unaffected, as they use their own domain names on No-IP's platform. Microsoft only had No-IP's free dynamic DNS domains handed over.

APK, no-one gives a shit about your hosts files. FUCK OFF.

Backup WHAT bullshit?
Just fuck off.

Oh for fuck sake APK, fuck off.
How amusing. I selected the wrong term. Why yes, however, the GP wasn't even talking about chemotherapy anyway so it's kind of a moot point.
Well, no. Since what they claimed is that they only SEEK to block traffic to the malicious domains. For example by blocking the bad ones and recursing the other ones. Now, they failed to do that, but it wasn't intentional. You certainly wouldn't be able to claim bad faith.
And even No-IP has paid services that were completely unaffected, because only the free domains were cut off.
Releasing a game with cloud storage (no doubt for a fee) and relying on a free service to provide core infrastructure? Sounds pretty irresponsible.
Yes there would be viruses, malware, and a multi-billion dollar a year AV industry, because the criminals would actually be writing malware for OS X and Linux.
Then use one of the unaffected paid-customer-only domains. Sorted.

Why? AWS hosts far more malicious stuff than Azure does (probably because AWS has a free tier, and Azure does not).
Their corporate domains (no-ip.com and noip.com) were not seized. Their NS records still point to ns1.no-ip.com etc.

There you go, the evidence Microsoft presented.
That probably should have been linked in the article.
Oh. Wait. Slashdot.
