Who Says That Irony is Dead?

Microsoft filed a lawsuit to seize domains from No-IP.com. Their reason?

In a blog post, Richard Domingues, assistant general counsel for the Microsoft digital crimes unit, said Microsoft pursued the seizure for No-IP’s role “in creating, controlling, and assisting in infecting millions of computers with malicious software—harming Microsoft, its customers and the public at large.” He added: “We’re taking No-IP to task as the owner of infrastructure frequently exploited by cybercriminals to infect innocent victims with the Bladeabindi (NJrat) and Jenxcus (NJw0rm) family of malware.”

(emphasis mine)

To quote the great Anna Russell, “I’m Not Making This Up, You Know.”

Seriously, “Zero Day” Microsoft, the creater of of Windows, is complaining about someone being the “Owner of infrastructure frequently exploited by cybercriminals to infect innocent victims?”

Really?

The irony here is stunning.
