Microsoft was willing to hand over No-IP’s domains, but only if the company met certain terms.
Unbelievable. Microsoft was willing to hand over someone else's domains to their owner only if they play the ball. I hope they get targeted by malware even more after that.
On a side note, I wonder what's to stop theoretical malicious code from switching to bare IPs instead of domains? Were those exposed to the user somehow (to make it more user-friendly?)? Or is it because using domains grants the ability to actually switch remote IPs without altering malicious code?
