From what I hear....
trojans like zeus use a DGA in the org, net and com domains.
Perhaps MS should seize those as well, and let only the "good" traffic though?

@amueller651  I'm working on a follow-up story and would love to hear more about how you're managing. If you're willing to talk more, drop me a line at sara.peters AT ubm.com.

I am creating new DDNS names, there is a whole lot more than just changing a name though. Every client that logs into that server must be setup too with the new info. This will take days at least, clients do not care how it works they just want to click and be there

As a user of No-IP that is a paying and legit customer and is STILL down. This is just wrong. They took millions of ip's down to close about 2000 bad accounts. This is like shooting everyone to kill one guilty person

When suing is a public service
This may be necessary for Microsoft's business, I don't know, but I'm viewing it as a public service move.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
