Plaintiffs Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) and LF Projects have sued Defendants Abanoub Nady and John Does 1-4 associated with the Fake ONNX cybercriminal operation and domains listed in the documents set forth herein. Plaintiffs allege that the Fake ONNX Defendants have violated Federal and state law by hosting a cybercriminal operation through these domains and selling, distributing, purchasing, and implementing the “ONNX”-branded phishing kits that support a Phishing-as-a-Service enterprise. The phishing kits mad and sold by the Fake ONNX Defendants facilitate sophisticated spear phishing and are designed to steal sensitive information that is then used to perpetrate additional cybercrimes including business email compromise, financial fraud, and ransomware attacks. Fake ONNX Defendants have also committed intellectual property violations irreparably harming Plaintiffs and Plaintiffs’ customers and member organizations. Plaintiffs seek a preliminary injunction directing the registrars associated with these domains to take all steps necessary to disable access to and operation of these domains and that all content and material associated with these domains are to be isolated and preserved pending resolution of the dispute. Plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction, other equitable relief and damages. Full copies of the pleading documents are available at www.noticeofpleadings.com/fakeonnx.
