Plaintiff Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) has sued Defendants Does 1 to 10,
who are associated with the Internet domains set forth in the documents referenced
in this communication.
Microsoft alleges that Defendants have violated federal and state law by hosting a
cybercriminal operation through these Internet domains, causing unlawful deception,
unauthorized intrusion into computer systems, and intellectual property violations
to the injury of Microsoft and Microsoft’s customers.
Microsoft has obtained a 14-day temporary restraining order and seeks a preliminary
injunction directing the registries and registrars associated with these Internet
domains to take all steps necessary to transfer these Internet domains to
Microsoft’s control and/or disable access to and operation of these domains, to
ensure that changes or access to the Internet domains cannot be made absent a court
order and that all content and material associated with these Internet domains are
to be isolated and preserved pending resolution of the dispute.
Microsoft seeks a final judgment and a permanent injunction, other equitable
relief, and damages. Full copies of the pleading documents are available at the
links below.
